Thirsk Lodge Barns is nestled in the gorgeous countryside, just two miles from the picturesque town of Thirsk. The venue seamlessly combines modern luxury with romantic, rustic features. Traditional elements such as red brick walls, rounded pillars, and striking beams give the venue warmth and character, while copper-topped bars, large windows overlooking landscaped courtyards, and a romantic wall of fairy lights add a high-end, modern touch.
This exclusive-use wedding venue comprises several connected barns, including the Main Barn, the snug Wheelhouse, the Bar, the Courtyard, and the Dining Room. Therefore, you can enjoy a change of scenery as you move between your ceremony, drinks reception, wedding breakfast and then onto the dancing – with no changeover time needed.
Thirsk Lodge Barns offers both indoor and outdoor ceremony spaces.
The majestic Main Barn is licensed for civil ceremonies and can seat up to 140 guests. The barn features floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking fields of wildflowers, allowing for an abundance of natural light. A backdrop of fairy lights behind the ceremony table sets the perfect scene for photos, while two large wrought iron hoops suspended from the ceiling create a striking focal point.
For outdoor ceremonies, the courtyard and meadow are available for alfresco vows.
The Bar and Courtyard provide a perfect setting for a drinks reception, rain or shine. The Bar features a modern copper-topped design with exposed beams and a wall that opens onto the Courtyard.
The Courtyard, with its 200-year-old Spanish olive tree, has a Mediterranean feel, offering an ideal spot for photos and fresh air.
For the wedding breakfast, guests move to the Dining Room, which can accommodate either round tables or long trestle tables. The Main Barn is transformed into an evening reception space for up to 200 guests, with the option for live music or DJs.
The venue provides a wedding coordinator to assist with the smooth running of the day, ensuring the couple can relax and enjoy their special occasion. For extended bookings, you are welcome to set up the day before your wedding, too.
Thirsk Lodge Barns offers luxurious on-site accommodation, including the honeymoon suite, Laundry Cottage, which features a copper roll-top bath, a separate shower, and a cosy living room with a fireplace.
The Farmhouse can accommodate up to nine guests and includes a contemporary kitchen, a snug with a TV and wood burner, and a light-filled drawing room.
For extended bookings, both the Laundry Cottage and The Farmhouse are included, and further accommodation is available at Woodhill Grange, which sleeps an additional eight guests.
Thirsk Lodge Barns offers a large selection of drinks, with packages available to suit various tastes and budgets. Drinks are recommended to be pre-purchased for the reception and wedding breakfast, and the bar remains open for guests to purchase drinks throughout the day.
Catering options are provided by partnering caterers, offering everything from traditional plated meals to rustic BBQ feasts and sharing boards.
Thirsk Lodge Barns is located just two miles from the picturesque town of Thirsk, offering easy access to local amenities and charming surroundings.
Wow, what an amazing time! A huge thank you to Kate, Toz, Paige, and the entire Thirsk Lodge Barns team!
While we’re sure you receive plenty of positive feedback from weddings, you are quite possibly one of the best, most professional, and friendliest teams we’ve ever worked with in anything. The organization, communication, and genuine care were exceptional. You’re a fabulous group of people, and we can’t wait to see your faces again at one of the evening events! Honestly, thank you so much.

What a day. Thank you! We haven’t stopped thinking about it since and we’re on such a huge high! Every single member of staff was incredible and couldn’t have done enough for us. I know there must have been so much that happened behind the scenes, too, that we didn’t even know about, so a huge, huge thank you to everyone involved. You guys have built an incredible venue and I’m sure you must be so proud.

We had the most amazing wedding!
Everything was just perfect and everyone kept complimenting how beautiful the venue was and how efficient and attentive the staff were so thank you so much!
From the planning to the day, it was incredible, and the day wouldn’t have been such a success without the help of you and your wonderful team.

Thank you, guys, so much; we can’t even put into words how perfect it was. The venue, as said by all our guests, is unbelievable, and all we want to do is relive it over and over again!
Thank goodness we live in Thirsk, so we will be able to pop in for “Bar at the Barns”!

Every single one of you made our whole weekend seamless. I can’t really put it into words, but everything was made so easy and relaxed; every detail had been thought of. All of our guests have commented how absolutely beautiful the venue was and how well thought out it was, as well as how fabulous the team were all day and all weekend! We’re so glad that in early 2021, we trusted the vision of Thirsk Lodge Barns, and it’s been incredible to watch it be transformed into the stunning venue it is today – we literally couldn’t have wished for anything better.
