Our licenced Pergola at The Old Vicarage stands overlooking the shallow banks of the river Poulter. The pergola can be lit with ceremony candle to provide a feature for your lighting and the power supply can be used for both ceremony music for the entrance of the bride and the exit of the newlyweds.

Within the Vicarage you are met with more splendour, a beautiful Oak hallway and doors bearing the trade mark of Mousey Thompson, the famous Yorkshire wood carver leading into the Osbourne Suite.

With a fabulous marble fireplace and oak doors, this offers all the delights of a bygone age. In keeping with this are the patio doors opening onto the extended Yorkshire stone patio providing views of the stunning panoramic surroundings of the grounds down to the river’s edge and beyond.

It was without a doubt the best day of our lives!

Just a note to say a big thank you to yourself and your husband for making our wedding day so special.
The house and the grounds looked beautiful just like something out of a magazine, everything, which had been arranged, ran smoothly with the help of yourselves we had no problems at all. We loved the fact that we could do and have exactly what we wanted and are very grateful with how much you helped us with arrangements. With the sun shining and the old house behind us the photos look amazing.
It took a long time to find somewhere to get married but as soon as we saw the Old Vicarage we knew it was perfect for us. All the guests were very impressed with the venue and we liked the fact that the grounds are very private. When I receive the photos, I will send one to you.

Just a quick note to say a big thank you

Our wedding day was everything we could have wished for and more. The setting and the intimacy of the Osbourne Suite was commented on by all our guests, the phrases stunning and inspiring we used. For me and Chris it was just beautiful. So, thank you again for a wonderful day, well organised and cared for throughout

Thank you again for your help!

We just wanted to write to thank you again for all of your help in respect of the hire of your venue for our wedding earlier this year. The day simply couldn’t have gone more smoothly as far as we were concerned and everybody commented on what a beautiful and tranquil setting we were in. Thank you also to everyone who was helping you, we really did appreciate everything that was done and the time investment made.
