Newburgh Priory is a beautiful, exclusive-use venue located in Helmsley, North Yorkshire. It sits right in the heart of the rolling countryside. Nestled away in the Howardian Hills, on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors, this elegant venue is one of the most picturesque wedding venues imaginable.

Facilities and Capacity

Originally founded in 1145 on land granted by William the Conqueror, Newburgh Priory has a rich and illustrious history. Lovingly updated throughout its life, every room at Newburgh has a story to tell. Exclusively yours for the entirety of your celebrations, you are guaranteed secluded bliss of only your very nearest and dearest. Licensed to host your civil ceremony, you have a choice of three wonderfully-appointed Georgian reception rooms. You can host gatherings of between 20 and 100 guests. Whether you choose the Small Drawing Room, Large Drawing Room, or the Dining Room, it is guaranteed you will say 'I do' amidst breathtaking views over the pristine grounds and wider parkland. There is also the option of an indoor/outdoor wedding. You and your partner can have a ceremony for up to 300 people in the Long Gallery Ruin. You would then sign on the dotted line in one of the Georgian licenced rooms with a registrar. However, if you would prefer a more traditional ceremony, you can always choose to marry in the charmingly quaint St. Michael's Church in the local estate village of Coxwold.

Services Offered

For your wedding breakfast and evening reception, the experienced and dedicated events team at Newburgh Priory invites you to get creative. With the entirety of their sprawling grounds at your disposal, Newburgh is perfectly disposed for a marquee party. You may choose to celebrate between the truly unique and atmospheric Long Gallery Ruin, Lakeside, or perhaps you will prefer the Ancient Lawn – the choice is completely yours.
