Within the grounds of Askham Hall, our charming Grade II listed Bank Barn has been sympathetically converted into a first-class wedding venue with a capacity for up to 150 guests seated and up to 200 guests for the evening.
With original features, bare stone walls and an open beamed oak ceiling together with contemporary lighting, an oak dance floor and large glass doors, Askham Hall really is a special and unique setting for your wedding.
Intimate wedding venue in the Lake District
Weddings up to 30 seated guests inhouse.
Imagine the perfect intimate wedding in the old chapel or the garden pavilion followed by your wedding breakfast in one of our private dining rooms and finishing off your day with a party in the Medieval Hall.
Askham Hall is licensed for civil ceremonies in the Grade II listed barn, the 16th century Medieval Hall and the Grade I listed manor house. If the weather is on your side, the outdoor garden pavilion is also available for tying the knot. For a traditional ceremony, St. Peters Church and St. Michael’s Church are just a short distance away. On the venue's grounds, the Bank Barn has been beautifully restored to welcome you and your loved ones. It boasts original features, such as bare stone walls and a beamed oak ceiling, mixed with contemporary décor. Seating up to 150 guests, it is a fantastic setting for a wedding in every season. The cosier 16th-century Medieval Hall is perfect for mid-week minimonies.
Askham Hall is the home of Allium, a Michelin-starred restaurant located within the manor house. This restaurant also holds four AA rosettes for both its menu and wine list.
19 luxurious bedrooms will be at your disposal, and 11 rooms at the venue's sister country inn, George and Dragon, Clifton. In addition, The Queen's Head is a charming inn with 6 bedrooms, located in the village of Askham.
