Bramham Park can host conferences for up to 100 delegates, as well as meetings, dinners, parties and receptions, in a house built in 1698 near Wetherby in West Yorkshire. Delegates are received in the Hall and seated in the Gallery. For larger or more active programs, the estate offers a marquee or the open parkland.
Seminars and company events
The corporate offer is the main one on the estate hire page. The house has hosted conferences, meetings, parties and dinners. A conference can take up to 100 delegates, who arrive in the Hall and sit in the Gallery. Refreshments and food can be served in the Hall, so a day can run in the house without moving to another building.
Outside, the park can carry activity days, rallies and charity events, and a marquee is an option for a corporate event. Each event is bespoke: the estate has no set pricing and asks you to call with your date and numbers. Summer dates are very limited because the Bramham Horse Trials and Leeds Festival both take place at the park. Plan a spring or autumn date, or ask early about a summer slot.
Weddings and receptions
The private hire section covers receptions, parties and dinners, in the house or in a wide choice of places in the park. The pages we read do not mention weddings by name, nor guest numbers for private events. Ask the estate whether a ceremony can be held, and for the capacity of the room you have in mind.
Rooms and capacities
Two rooms are named for conferences. The Hall receives delegates and serves refreshments and food. The Gallery seats the conference, up to 100 delegates. The pages we read give no capacities for other rooms of the house, and the marquee has no published size.
Catering
Food and refreshments are served in the Hall during conferences. The pages do not name a caterer or give menus, so settle catering with the estate when you request a date.
History and setting
Bramham Park was built in 1698 by Robert Benson, later Lord Bingley, after a grand tour of Italy that ended in 1697. He imagined a house in the Palladian manner as one element within a landscaped park. The Lane Fox family now owns the park and runs it as a working country estate. The estate has served as a location for the ITV series Victoria, the film The Darkest Hour and the BBC series Gentleman Jack.
The gardens and grounds are open most of the year by appointment on weekdays, and the house opens to groups of at least 10 by appointment. The estate also hosts the Bramham International Horse Trials and the Leeds Festival.
Getting there
The address is Bramham Park, Wetherby, West Yorkshire LS23 6ND. The pages we read do not give a station or distances, so ask the estate about transport for delegates.
