Personal Message from the Manager

Name of Wedding Contact: Nicola Walton
The Venue is a reclaimed industrial space originally built in the 1880s. We first fell in love with the Venue when we married here ourselves, celebrating with our family and friends in 2003. In 2016 we became the proud owners of The Venue, which is set within Bowers Mill a former woolen mill. We have restored the space giving a nod to it’s original Yorkshire mill heritage. There are wonderful original features that we have kept within The Venue, including the original floor in the Spinning room.

A massive thank you

"Lydia and I just wanted to reach out with a massive thank you to the team we’ve been dealing with since day 1 of booking the venue right upto and after the wedding celebration. The whole experience has been made so easy & efficient by you all throughout. There were quite a few moving parts on Saturday but it seemed to all go off without a hitch. The venue, the food & drinks, the staff all contributed so much to a hell of a party. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to you all."

Everything was amazing!

Thank you so much for your help on the day, we had the best day ever. You kept us both calm and did everything to make the day run smoothly. Please pass on our compliments to the chef, we had so much good feedback on the wedding breakfast, particularly the main course! Could you also pass our thanks on to the DJ - our first dance came on at the end after everyone had gone - it was literally the best ending for us. Everything was amazing!!

Best decision we ever made!

Choosing the venue was the best decision we ever made, every one of our guests commented on the actual venue, location and how beautiful a setting it was. The whole day went so smoothly and was completely stress free which we never envisaged would be the case, but it was just perfect. A huge thank you for allowing us to have our wedding day at your venue, a day and night we will never forget!
