PRIVATE EVENTS AT THE MERCHANT TAYLORS’ HALL

If you're looking for a private hire venue in York city centre, our beautiful Hall offers an unforgettable location for anniversary and birthday parties, private dinners, christening celebrations, funeral teas and society, club and regimental functions.

Set in the heart of York against the city's ancient walls, the Hall offers a choice of spaces to accommodate 40 – 120 guests and there's a lovely garden available for you and your guests to enjoy.

Our dedicated staff will work with you throughout the planning stages to make sure everything is just as you’d like it, and be with you throughout your event to ensure everything goes smoothly. If required, our experienced caterers will create a buffet, set meal or banquet menu of delicious food and drink, and there’s also a fully licensed bar offering real ales, pump beers, spirits and wines.

We’re an accessible venue for wheelchair users and there’s free on-site parking (up to 10 spaces) for any guests with disabilities and the event hosts (and a car park with hundreds more spaces available only 400 yards away). York train station is just a 15 minute walk, or short taxi journey, away for guests travelling from further afield.

As a registered charity all income we generate from events at the Hall is reinvested in the maintenance of this magnificent Grade 1 listed building, or given in grants to projects involving young people who want to advance and develop their skills in the fields of art, craftsmanship and music. Please read about the most recent projects we've been supporting on our Latest News page.

We'd love to show you round this very special place and discuss how best we can help you with your event. Please contact us to arrange a visit. Note that all bookings are subject to our Hall Hire Terms and Conditions.
