For those searching for their dream wedding venue, we've got some very exciting news to share with you all. Our avid readers will have already seen this in the pages of our glossy magazine, but there's a brand new wedding venue coming soon and we're thrilled to announce it's a barn! That's right, leading event organisers, Cripps & Co, are set to open Tithe Barn this coming August.

Situated in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, on the Duke of Devonshire’s Bolton Abbey Estate, The Tithe Barn is one of the largest barns of its type in the UK. The magnificent Tithe Barn, or perhaps more accurately described as the “Great Barn” Bolton Abbey is an outstanding and rare example of a well-preserved medieval timber barn; its sheer size, scale, and self-supporting design alone - a building feat in the 16th century – makes it an iconic building of national significance. This will be a genuinely unrivalled venue owing to its extraordinary heritage, grandiose structure and outstanding setting against impeccable scenery.
Stunning inside and out, couples and their guests at The Tithe Barn will be able to soak up the spectacular surrounding views and admire the building’s impressive structure and atmosphere. The barn is set in the heart of the Duke of Devonshire’s Bolton Abbey Estate and overlooks the dramatic Priory ruins, Bolton Abbey itself, the River Wharfe and the well-loved Yorkshire landscape surrounding the estate. The Tithe Barn is one of the most romantic and majestic barn settings in this part of the world.

Measuring 55-metres long and 51.5 metres wide, The Tithe Barn, Bolton Abbey will provide one of the largest, most spectacular exclusive-use spaces in which to get married in the North.
