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 your private event at The Priests House
With the magnificent backdrop of the 15th-century Barden Tower, this definitely provides the “wow” factor for your event as you drive over the hill and see the venue it all of its glory. Steeped in romanticism and charm, this unique venue is surrounded by some of the best landscape the Yorkshire Dales can offer.
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!)
