Weddings at The Forge
For weddings, The Forge at Birdforth Hall offers an exclusive-use barn venue with a relaxed countryside feel. Originally a working blacksmith’s forge, the space has been carefully brought back to life as a characterful wedding venue with natural light, rustic details and room to make the day your own.
Couples can choose from indoor and outdoor ceremony options, a celebration in the barn, drinks outside on the lawn, or a more relaxed reception in the Mediterranean Terrace Room, where floor-to-ceiling glass doors look out towards the gardens, outdoor ceremony spaces, old trees and surrounding fields.
Your wedding should feel like you, not like a fixed formula.
That is why Birdforth Hall is built around flexibility, exclusive use and a simple promise: your wedding, your way.
Holliday Cottages with Hot Tubs
Birdforth Hall is also home to four spacious, dog-friendly holiday cottages: The Granary, The Stables, Mill House and The Byre. Each cottage has its own private garden and hot tub, with shared access to the heated indoor swimming pool, pool table, table tennis and the much-loved DIY Pizza Shack.
The cottages are ideal for wedding guests, family holidays, big birthdays, reunions and multi-generation stays. Guests often describe them as spacious, warm, clean, comfortable and better than expected, with the hot tubs, pool, animals and Pizza Shack becoming some of the most memorable parts of the stay.
Book one cottage for a countryside break, or bring everyone together across the site for a relaxed group stay with space for up to 41 guests.
A North Yorkshire Venue Made for Time Together
Birdforth Hall sits between York and Thirsk, close to Easingwold, with countryside views, easy travel links and plenty of space for guests to settle in. The setting feels peaceful and tucked away, yet remains practical for family and friends travelling from the north, south and across Yorkshire.
This is not a place for rushing from one thing to the next. It is a place for arriving the day before, unpacking properly, lighting the pizza oven, watching the children enjoy the pool, sitting in the hot tub, catching up with family, and waking up surrounded by countryside before the main event begins.
