Private events
An enchanting 15th-century rural setting, personable service and mouth-watering food work in unison to create a memorable event – no matter the occasion.
Hosting events at The Priests House
Many of life’s most important and memorable moments happen around food, drink and incredible company. Whilst we cannot promise you an incredible guestlist for your event (that’s your job!), we can promise delicious food, flowing drink and warm service. We take great joy & reward in knowing that providing those three aspects to your event can create lifelong memories for yourselves and your guests.
We are proud of how The Priests House is often labelled as being like from a fairy-tale. Between the 15th century Barden Tower, authentic & stunning Chapel, the rustic charm of the Oak Room, and the tranquil grounds with views of the Wharfedale valley, The Priests House is sure to impress your guests.
The Priests House has hosted numerous events over the years from birthday parties, anniversaries, themed nights, network events, Christmas do’s, wakes and many others.
We love making your events special and memorable (we cannot help if you forget due to a glass of wine too many though!)
