For a Christmas party that feels truly magical, East Riddlesden Hall offers a wonderfully atmospheric setting that combines historic charm with modern comfort. Tucked away on the edge of Keighley in West Yorkshire, this 17th-century manor house and its spectacular Airedale Barn provide the perfect backdrop for festive celebrations with character, elegance and a touch of sparkle.
At the heart of your Christmas event is the Airedale Barn - a stunning, rustic space adorned with fairy lights and lanterns, with original beams and centuries-old craftsmanship adding to the seasonal charm. Available for private hire, there's a hire fee and minimum bar spend which gets you access from 9:30am until midnight, so there’s plenty of time to celebrate. Guests can enjoy the venue’s cosy underfloor heating, outdoor path lighting, and a high-spec Bose PA system complete with wireless microphone, projector and 100-inch screen - perfect for speeches, festive slideshows or even a Christmas quiz.
With space to seat up to 150 guests, the barn is ideal for company parties, team gatherings or festive get-togethers with friends. The fully stocked cash and card bar is available throughout the night, with professional security and even a golf buggy to transport guests around the site, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
Food at East Riddlesden Hall is just as impressive. Choose from seasonal canapés like honey and mustard chipolatas, bacon and brie croquetas, or roasted shallot and thyme tarte tatin. Bowl food options include comforting bangers and mash with red onion confit, Yorkshire fish and chips with mushy peas or curry sauce, or wild mushroom and truffle ravioli for a touch of luxury. To finish? Boozy mince pies and rich chocolate brownie squares that are sure to keep spirits high.
Surrounded by peaceful gardens and the quiet beauty of a historic manor, East Riddlesden Hall is a Christmas party venue with soul. Whether you’re sipping mulled wine beneath twinkling lights or tucking into hearty winter fare with colleagues, it’s a space that brings festive celebrations to life with warmth, charm and a little West Yorkshire magic.
