Set within 20 acres of countryside, this idyllic setting provides a breathtaking backdrop for unforgettable celebrations.
Facilities & Capacity
The beautifully restored former horse stud offers a range of thoughtfully designed spaces to host every moment of your wedding day, all in one seamless location. Woodstock is exclusively yours for the whole of your wedding day, through to the following morning.
Start the morning in style in our two beautiful and calm getting ready spaces, enjoying the peace of the rural morning.
We offer the option of beautiful on site ceremonies at Woodstock in the beautiful barn space or serene outdoor garden. Should you prefer a church wedding, there are a number of lovely churches close at hand, including the nearby Church of the Holy Evangelists in Shipton-by-Beningbrough, only a minute's drive from Woodstock.
Continue your celebrations on the stylish outdoor terrace, with drinks and impeccable service at our main bar and separate Tiki-style cocktail bar.
The elegant and rustic barn venue space allows the day to flow from the wedding breakfast seamlessly into the evening celebrations. Fully heated and air-conditioned, your guests will enjoy the day in total comfort, with a cosy mezzanine lounge area overlooking the dancefloor.
With capacity for between 50 and 270 guests, our flexibility means that you can have an intimate atmosphere for any number of guests with plenty of room for dining, dancing and celebrating.
When the evening finishes, continue the celebrations with your nearest and dearest in our four on-site accommodation rooms, which are included in the venue hire.

Reviews for Woodstock Weddings and Events
Perfection
I will start out by talking about the people that made it all happen - Rachel, Will and their fabulous team! Everyone made sure the day ran smoothly - they were on absolutely every detail and it all worked like clockwork. We were tended to on the wedding morning and were given tea, coffee etc. Rachel checked in with us both regularly throughout the morning to let us know what was happening and check if there was anything we needed - she even gave me a little tour of the venue all decorated before everyone arrived, as she wanted to make sure I got the chance to see it. Rachel did a terrific job and decorated the place with all sorts of bits and pieces I had dropped off for her and made it look exactly how I had imagined!
Now the venue itself - the venue is just exquisite and we knew it from the moment we saw it. So peaceful and quiet but not so far our from the city that it is hard for guests to book taxis or find accommodation. All our guests complimented how beautiful the space was inside and out. It is surrounded by beautiful countryside which is perfect for photo opportunities. There was plenty of room for myself and my husband to prepare without accidentally running into each other. We had just under 30 day guests and 50 evening guests and the space allowed us to spread out nicely but could easily accommodate many more, as it also has a cocktail bar in a separate building.
Now for value for money - I can say with full confidence that Woodstock is value for money! You basically get a full wedding co-ordinator in Rachel, who ensured that there was absolutely no confusion or delays and everyone was where they needed to be at all times. The build up was completely stress-free, largely because the venue had a wide range of décor available to use already and any extras could just be dropped off early and Rachel would see to it. The on-site accommodation (included in the price) was really comfortable and so convenient after an evening of dancing!
I honestly can't fault the place or the team behind it. Thank-you for helping us create the most perfect wedding!
Absolutely Stunning Venue!!! Amazing day! Super professional and the owners and staff went above and beyond for our special day!
Best Venue Ever!
Thank you so much to Rachel and Will, from Nicola and Sam xx
Just Perfect
Rachel and Will really made the process so easy when it came to planning! Rachel was always on hand to give advice and really make the planning process as stress free as possible, she really is an expert.
Will really brought the fun into our planning ! Will his meticulous eye for detail and bringing all things fun at a wedding. They really make a perfect pair.
The venue really speaks for itself. The atmosphere, the surroundings and the perfect layout. From the intimate ceremony space, the drinks reception on the terrace listening to your favourite singer and the most stunning wedding breakfast set up you’ve ever seen.
Woodstock is everything you could wish for in a venue, nothing compares. The memories we hold of that day are priceless!
Pictures do not do this place justice, our guests were in awe. Thank you for doing everything in your power to make our day perfect, it really was.

Unreal - All of it!!!
This really is the perfect venue! It’s in the heart of York but it makes you feel so exclusive!! The venue really does sell its self! It is so well maintained, a lovely barn, indoor out door feel! We got married here in October this year 2025 and we couldn’t have picked a better venue it really was perfect! We did a lot of DIY but it suited our look down to a tee. Rachel, Will and all the Woodstock staff are fantastic! Rachel and Will really made everything so easy and guided us through every step until our day finished. Our guests couldn’t have spoken anymore highly about how polite, helpful and fantastic all the staff were and how much of a brilliant job Rachel and Will had done of making it all run smoothly.
Rachel and Will are just brilliant (if I haven’t already mentioned) it does feel like you have your own guides, any advice or any help they are always so so approachable and so so helpful! The accommodation is beautiful, there is a get ready room aswell as some lovely rooms to stay in tooo!
This venue is a must see. It really will take your breath away!!! I wish we could relive our day every Saturday! It will forever be a special place!
Thank you again Rachel and Will you really did make our day!!!
Such a beautiful venue
An Amazing, Beautiful Venue, your perfect choice!
We are beyond excited to share how incredible our experience was at Woodstock Weddings and Events! From the very beginning, the whole process was incredibly easy and straightforward. Rachel and Will make an outstanding team, and their dedication to making our wedding day perfect was evident from day one.
The advice they provided was invaluable, helping us to envision exactly what we wanted to capture. We had a lot of ideas and queries, and they handled each one with care and attention. Communication was nothing short of perfect, calm, supportive, and always prompt.
What truly set Woodstock apart was how they personalised every aspect of our experience. The packages were completely bespoke to us, allowing us to infuse our personality into every detail. My vision for the decor was elevated beyond my expectations, Rachel truly understood what I wanted to achieve and on the day, everything looked absolutely stunning. It was like stepping into a dream, so many people have commented on just how special the venue was and looked.
Thanks to Rachel and Will’s meticulous planning and attention to detail, our day ran smoothly. Any potential glitches went unnoticed, allowing us to fully enjoy our wedding without a worry. We truly had our dream day, and we can’t thank them enough for their time, effort, and professionalism. We had our pooch Eric there too who was welcomed with open arms and our 2 little boys had the best day running on the fields and playing the games that were set up for them.
We wholeheartedly recommend Woodstock Weddings and Events to anyone looking for a beautiful venue and an exceptional team. Thank you so much for making our wedding day unforgettable!
We really hope to be back soon!

Beautiful beautiful beautiful
The most incredible venue
Janice and her wonderful team couldn't have done more for me in the run up to the day (and I was a bit of a groomzilla!!). They were patient, kind and advised me on so much.
Thank you for making me dream day come true. You were honestly so brilliant, and you've given me memories I will never forget ❤️
Love,
Adam
The perfect day
As soon as we viewed it ticked all our boxes, a cocktail bar, evergreen trees, a huge field, beautiful interiors and so much more. The accomdation was a huge hit and it was lovely to get ready on site in the purpose built room, my make up artist and hairdresser loved it.
Thank you for hosting our special day!
