Check out the historic Merchant Adventurers’ Hall venue in York

Timbered exterior of historic Merchant Adventurers’ Hall wedding venue in York

What can you expect at The Merchant Adventurers' Hall wedding venue in York?
Built between 1357 and 1361 in York, this venue is Britain's oldest surviving half-timbered guildhall, crafted from oak sourced from the Vale of York. The timber frames against the distinctive yellow of the walls makes this a special landmark in the city. Couples will love the secluded walled garden for a drinks reception in the warmer months.

Time to celebrate!
Large ceremonies and wedding breakfasts are held in the magnificent Great Hall (180 guests) under high ceilings and exposed beams. Smaller parties will love the elegant Governor's Parlour (20 guests) and the intimate Committee Room (24 guests).

Drinks and evening receptions take place in the ambient Undercroft (180 guests). Attached to the early 15th-century chapel, it boasts flagstone flooring and oak pillars.

We love...
The courtyard and tranquil gardens bound by the River Foss provide an idyllic setting for photographs.

House of Janneke, a new lifestyle brand, launches Book of Special Days

The Book of Special Days is a keepsake journal that gives special moments a home. This isn't a diary. There are no rules, no schedules, no need to write in it every day.  There is a page for every day of the year, but no printed years. After a special day, you find the date, add the year and write down what made it worth remembering. Over time, this book will become something more: a living archive of your days, a weave of stories across the years, a place for little joys, victories big and small, laughter shared and milestones you cherish. It holds what you don't want to forget, a trove of the ordinary and the extraordinary, all treasured alike.
