Weddings
A romantic and ethereal country house, set in 18 acres of idyllic grounds and surrounded by a world class nature reserve, every wedding hosted at Thicket Priory is as unique as you are.
Shrouded in privacy for decades, Grade II-listed Victorian masterpiece Thicket Priory has been lovingly restored to create one of North Yorkshire’s finest private houses for exclusive hire only.
Dating back to the 1840’s and built by Edward Blore, most notable for his work on Buckingham Palace; between 1955 and 2009 Thicket Priory was home to an order of nuns and sealed off from the outside world.
Today our sanctuary of tranquillity boasts 35 en-suite bedrooms, a magnificent Ballroom that can seat up to 160, a private chapel, 18 acres of grounds, a private lake and a boathouse. Meanwhile a myriad of mysterious stairs and doors will make it feel even more like a magical secret just waiting to be discovered. And yet we are only 20 minutes from historic city of York and just two hours by train from central London.

“We literally would not change a single thing about the weekend and a large amount of that was directly down to Thicket Priory, or indirectly through recommended suppliers, who were also all amazing. It was perfect! What an amazing venue you have created and what an amazing team, nothing was too much trouble for anyone, which was noted by not only us but all our guests as well…and even our suppliers!! Not only did you get all the big things right, the little touches made all the difference and didn’t go unnoticed. Words can never say thank you enough…we just wish we could come and do it all again!”
