Thirsk Lodge Barns is a set of barns on a family farm on Newsham Road, about two miles from Thirsk town centre in North Yorkshire. The barns are hired exclusively. The day moves between the Main Barn, the Bar, the Dining Room, the Courtyard and the Wheelhouse.
The barns
The Main Barn is licensed for civil ceremonies and seats up to 140, including around 20 on the mezzanine. The couple enter through two wooden doors from the VIP Room at the far end, with a wall of fairy lights behind the oak ceremony table. Large windows look out over grass and wildflower fields. In the evening the same barn takes the band or DJ.
The Bar has exposed beams and pillars and a copper-topped bar, and one whole wall opens onto the Courtyard. The Dining Room seats up to 140 under open trusses and a large skylight, on an oak floor, with views over the wild meadow. It has its own bar for the wedding breakfast.
The Courtyard
The Courtyard is a sheltered space built around a 200 year old Spanish olive tree. It is used for drinks, photographs, outdoor games and fire pits, with a heated open stable for seating. The Wheelhouse, a snug room just off the Main Barn, gives children and anyone needing a rest somewhere quiet to sit.
On the day
The venue is on one level with step-free access. The farmhouse and Laundry Cottage sit next to the barns and sleep 11 between them. Woodhill Grange, half a mile away, sleeps eight, and 35 Kirkgate is a small hotel in the middle of Thirsk. Catering is by the venue's own in-house team from January 2027. Weddings before then choose from its list of recommended caterers. The bar closes at midnight and guests leave by 12.30am, so taxis are worth booking a few weeks ahead.
