About
Setting

There is a distinctive charm in the industrial heritage of The Venue at Bowers Mill. Set within the rolling Yorkshire countryside, this converted woollen mill offers a setting that merges the raw beauty of stripped wood floors, exposed brick, and wrought iron pillars with high ceilings and expansive rural views.

Ceremony

Three distinct spaces are available for wedding ceremonies:

  • The Spinning Room: Once the heart of wool spinning, this room offers panoramic countryside views and retains features such as the original mill floor, cast iron pillars, and exposed brickwork. Ideal for ceremonies with up to 120 guests or a wedding breakfast for 100, it connects seamlessly to the Bowers Suite.
  • Bowers Suite: This versatile space is perfect for larger ceremonies, accommodating over 120 guests. It is later transformed for the reception.
  • Outdoor Pagoda: Situated beside the lake, the pagoda offers an idyllic outdoor option for up to 80 guests, making it ideal for summer weddings.
Reception

The Bowers Suite transforms effortlessly from ceremony to reception. Its industrial roots are reflected in features like large factory windows that bathe the room in natural light by day and create a warm glow at night. The space accommodates gatherings from 60 to 400 guests and can be divided into three sections with elegant drapes to create a theatrical reveal for guests. An outdoor private area is often used for drinks receptions and photography during summer.

Accommodation

Eleven well-appointed rooms are available just next door, providing a convenient and comfortable option for wedding guests. Operated independently but closely linked to The Venue, this accommodation is ideally situated for those celebrating at Bowers Mill.

Food & Drink

A variety of packages cater to different tastes, offering options such as informal grazing menus or traditional wedding breakfasts. Canapés are included in most packages, and the in-house Venue Kitchen provides popular street food kitchen upgrades for evening fare.

Getting There

The Venue Bowers Mill is centrally located between Manchester and Leeds, easily accessible via the M62. On-site car parking is available for guests.

Wow! We had our wedding at The Venue, and it was such an amazing day! Everything ran smoothly, never had to worry about anything apart from enjoying our day. Everyone commented on what a gorgeous venue it was and how lovely all the staff were. Everything from going to view, booking, and all our meetings to the actual day was so easy and stress-free. If we ever had any queries as we were planning things and we emailed the venue, no matter how small or silly the question we always got a reply asap! All the staff were so lovely. I would definitely recommend The Venue for your wedding. It’s a stunning venue, and it was just so stress-free!

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!

We got married at The Venue. All I can say to the team is thank you! From start to finish our day was the most magical and memorable experience. They are such a credit to the wedding industry! As soon as we walked into the venue, we knew this was where we would start our happily ever after. From the quality of the food (compliments to the chefs) to the seamless running of the day, nothing was ever a hassle or fuss! It is truly a 5-star venue.

We cannot thank your team enough for all your help on the day. From start to finish, it ran so seamlessly and effortlessly. Your team were all so friendly and professional throughout. Thanks to the team for all your help leading up to the day, too. You were so accountable, reliable and flexible, and it made the whole process for us fun, easy and memorable. We feel so lucky we stumbled across the Venue as it was truly the best place for our day!

We got married in late December 2023 at The Venue, and it was absolutely perfect! The staff were all really lovely and friendly; everyone we spoke to or dealt with made us feel special, and they all seemed genuinely excited for us! They did an incredible job on the organisational side, too. We had regular contact in the lead-up to our wedding day, and every single detail was checked with us to make sure we were happy, even down to finer details like making sure they had our favourite whisky available behind the bar. The day itself went so smoothly and exactly as expected/better than we could have hoped. The Venue itself was perfect for us, too; particularly given it was mid-winter and chucking it down outside, it was so lovely and cosy inside, just a perfect atmosphere! A massive thank you to everyone at The Venue who helped us make our wedding day super special. We really appreciate it!
