The Old Barn at Esholt

The Old Barn at Esholt is a Yorkshire event venue in a converted 18th-century stone barn, offering a distinctive setting for weddings, private celebrations and business events. Original stone walls and exposed timber beams give the building a rustic character, while modern decor, high ceilings, fairy lights and a gallery staircase create a welcoming space for formal occasions and lively parties.

The venue is licensed for civil ceremonies and can host up to 120 guests for ceremonies, formal dining and banqueting. For informal parties, its two floors can accommodate up to 220 people. A separate downstairs area is available for smaller gatherings. The main function space includes an integrated dance floor and lighting and sound equipment, with a log-burning fireplace adding a cosy feature. Planted garden areas and substantial on-site parking are also available.

Couples can arrange a viewing with the wedding coordinators and discuss a tailored quote and package. The team also welcomes occasions such as baby showers, christenings, wakes, corporate dinners, awards nights and Christmas parties. For events beyond its published packages, organisers can enquire about a bespoke arrangement.

Food menus can be adapted to guests' dietary needs, and the venue can help organise entertainment, including DJs and live bands. Event organisers can also discuss themed styling and other individual requirements with the team. With flexible spaces, in-house event support and a setting that combines historic details with practical facilities, the barn can suit both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations.
