The Tithe Barn

Set within the breathtaking grounds of the Duke of Devonshire’s Bolton Abbey estate, The Tithe Barn is a 16th-century masterpiece nestled in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales.


Rich in history and natural drama, this Grade II* listed barn is one of the UK’s largest exclusive-use wedding venues, offering a setting that feels as timeless as the vows you’ll exchange there.

Originally built to store tithes for the estate, the barn’s historic charm is paired with impressive scale—towering ceilings, medieval chandeliers, and flagstone floors all brought to life by flickering candlelight and fairy-lit beams.


Whether you choose an indoor ceremony beneath the ancient timber roof or a summer wedding on the terrace with views of the Bolton Abbey Priory ruins, every corner of this venue is steeped in atmosphere.
