Description
One of Yorkshire's most luxurious wedding venues, Bowcliffe Hall is a stunning Georgian country house set amidst 38 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds. Beyond the grand entrance gates, the sweeping driveway leads you to this serene estate offering the perfect backdrop for your special day. Accommodating 85 guests for the day time, Bowcliffe Hall is licensed with Leeds Registry Office to host civil ceremonies, both indoors and out.
The Bowcliffe Room provides a beautiful backdrop, with large sash windows overlooking the gardens, for your civil ceremony. Alternatively, you can opt for an outdoor ceremony by the miniature Chapel.
Enjoy drinks and canapes in the exclusive Bowcliffe Drivers' Club, the 1920s 'Golden Age of Motoring' inspired bar, with direct access to the south-facing terrace. Whether it's prosecco served from the Bentley Bar, or a G&T station served from the BDC Trike, the Bowcliffe Team are willing to make your day completely unique to you.
It is time for your speeches and wedding breakfast, served in the beautifully ornate and art deco inspired Ballroom. Accommodating up to 85 guests seated, the Ballroom provides the perfect setting to enjoy your delectable 3 course wedding breakfast from our Executive Head Chef and resident Masterchef, Darren Collinson.
The Blackburn Wing, our award winning treehouse venue is the perfect spot to party the night away. Accommodating up to 120 guests for the evening reception, this totally unique venue is the perfect show stopper to wow your guests.
Bowcliffe Hall has limited wedding availability each year, and is available for exclusive use. You will have access to our culinary team who are renowned for creating exquisite dishes, using the finest locally-sourced ingredients - sometimes as local as the Estate!
Work closely with our experienced Wedding Coordinators to build your bespoke wedding package, tailored to your vision of your special day.
5 reasons to consider Bowcliffe Hall:
- Exclusive use - With a limited number of weddings taking place per year, we try and offer all our wedding couples (over 50 guests) exclusive use on a Saturday or Sunday only.
- Completely unique - Every corner you turn on the Estate reveals something new, whether it is the boxing hares on the driveway, or the monkey in The Blackburn Wing woods, there is always something to see.
- Exquisite food - Our Executive Head Chef, Darren Collinson, has featured on Masterchef: The Professionals to showcase his talent. All menus are based around seasonal, fresh and local produce, sometimes even as local as the Estate!

- TTom and Naomi26/03/2024Amazing wedding from start to finishAmazing wedding from start to finishWe first viewed Bowcliffe in late 2022 and instantly knew it was the right venue for us, having exclusive use was important to us and Bowcliffe offered that with a range of beautiful rooms to choose from, as well as a massive outdoor space. Between then and our wedding in March 2024 the full team, especially Brooke have been amazing, proactive and incredibly helpful, being on hand to answer questions and give advice. On the day the whole team were amazing, coordinating with vendors, guests and the wedding party, the whole day ran without a hitch and if anything went wrong we never found out about it, it was all dealt with seamlessly by the team. I was very nervous on the day and the team put not only me but my flower girls at ease, offering assistance when needed and being all smiles and cheers. They were incredibly flexible in making sure the venue and day were perfect, food was amazing, and there were more than enough people on hand to help us and our guests. We can't thank Brooke and the team enough, it really was a perfect day and as easy wedding planning as possible!We first viewed Bowcliffe in late 2022 and instantly knew it was the right venue for us, having exclusive use was important to us and Bowcliffe offered that with a range of beautiful rooms to choose from, as well as a massive outdoor space.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs
Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
We couldn't possibly pick one, but those that have stood out in our mind are marquee weddings on the South Lawn, especially Camilla and Kenji's in July 2023. They worked with Wills Marquees, one of our recommended suppliers to design their marquee exactly how they wanted. Camilla and Kenji are such a spirited, happy couple and their wedding day definitely reflected that.
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Before even viewing venues, make three different guest lists. The first one is the absolute must have people at your wedding, the second guestlist is for those that you would love to be there, and the third is for those who you would really like to be there. Then, when you view venues, you are able to see which guestlist would fit within their capacities.
