WHERE THE PARTY’S AT One of Yorkshire’s most remarkable stately homes has completed a state-of-the-art renovation to create an exclusive event and party space unlike anything else in the region. Birdsall House, home to the Willoughby family for more than 300 years, opened to the public for the first time in April 2018 for weddings and events. The Old Kitchens represent a total transformation of the building’s large abandoned Victorian kitchen complex of rooms. Found in the basement of the house, they stopped being used after WWII. The project has taken more than two years to complete. Now available to hire for events and parties as a standalone space, it also provides a wonderful area for wedding receptions. Meanwhile, the rest of Birdsall House and its gardens are still available to use for wedding ceremonies and breakfasts. The Old Kitchens are available to hire now, and viewings are welcomed by private appointment. To find out more, visit https://birdsallestates.co.uk HOWSHAM HALL IS READY TO PARTY!

The 117-acre estate, based in the East Yorkshire village of Hotham, has been lovingly restored to its former grandeur over the last three years in a heritage-focused regeneration. The elegant Georgian Estate was built in 1720 by William Burton and became a symbol of luxury and splendour for many years. Three hundred years later in 2020 it was purchased by Hull businesswoman, Linda Kilburn and her husband, David Kilburn CBE , founders of MKM Building Suppliers, who set about bringing the home and gardens back to life together with marketing and events director, Rachel Waugh. Hotham Hall is now available for exclusive hire. From sophisticated weddings and corportate gatherings to parties, private dining and charity events, the estate offers a variety of elegant spaces amid meticulously curated grounds and the picturesque Yorkshire countryside. The venue boasts a beautiful Georgian Hall, vast grounds for marquees and outdoor dining, along with five luxury suites. The next chapter of the development includes the creation of a luxury spa, private member’s club, additional events space and further accommodation set for completion in 2025/6. Hotham Hall’s first wedding will take place in September and the venue is now taking bookings for 2025 and beyond.
