Hoyle Court is a historic mansion house in Baildon, near Bradford, that hosts weddings, conferences, meetings and private events for up to 120 guests seated and 200 for evening events. An in-house chef team handles the food, and the whole venue is let exclusively to a wedding party on the day. The house stands on Otley Road in the Aire Valley, with gardens that double as breakout space.
Seminars and company events
The house takes conferences, meetings, team-building and training days, large or small. The venue lists separate layout pages for the Ballroom and the Garden Room, so an organiser can choose between a large plenary space and a smaller one. Audio-visual equipment is available on request, and a pre-meeting breakfast can open the day. The gardens serve as breakout space between sessions.
The operator positions the offer as a historic setting that compares well with a standard meeting venue. Food and drink packages are available for every conference, and the food comes from Yorkshire suppliers.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the house's best-known business. The couple has sole use of the venue for the day, with the invited guests. Civil ceremonies take place in the long Garden Room for up to 100 people. It flows into the bar and reception area and opens onto a terrace with a stone staircase, sweeping gardens and a secret garden for photographs and lawn games. Drinks receptions and evening barbecues can be arranged on request when booking.
The wedding breakfast is served in the main Ballroom for up to 120 guests, at round tables with white linen. Two packages are offered, Courts and Mansion, both for a minimum of 40 guests. Both include exclusive use, a dedicated wedding coordinator, a three-course wedding breakfast and an evening supper. The Mansion package adds the ceremony in the Garden Room, welcome canapés, a prosecco reception and wine with the meal.
Other celebrations are hosted too: birthdays, anniversaries, funeral teas and celebrations of life.
