York’s famous National Rail Museum offers one-of-a-kind spaces for couples looking to treat their guests to an unusual experience and personalise their big day with a venue that breaks away from tradition. The museum is home to a huge collection of objects relating to train travel, transformed with elegant details to create a magical, nostalgic atmosphere. Parties can make use of the courtyard, which is nestled between the venue’s galleries, to celebrate in the presence of the remarkable Countess of York carriage. LET’S CELEBRATE! Ceremonies take place in the Station Hall (200 guests) among the royal carriages. Alternatively, brides and grooms can tie the knot in the luxuriously restored Pullman-style carriage, the Countess of York. Converted to host intimate gatherings of 12 people, it transports visitors back to the bygone era of European rail travel. There’s space for up to 600 guests for receptions in Station Hall, the Countess of York, and the courtyard. WE LOVE… Groups can be treated to an exclusive tour of the museum and couples are granted use of the Royal antique table and chairs for their ceremony. www.joan nebphotography.co.uk THE YORKSHIRE HOTEL 01423 706 700 | www.the-yorkshire.co.uk WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
