When winter settles over the Yorkshire countryside, something magical happens at Goldsborough Hall. The fires are lit, the halls are dressed with garlands, and the scent of pine and spiced wine fills the air.

It’s the most romantic time of year - and the perfect setting for a Christmas wedding.

Step Into the Magic of Goldsborough Hall

Imagine exchanging vows beside a roaring fire, candlelight flickering across centuries-old oak panelling, and a magnificent Christmas tree twinkling in the background.

At Goldsborough Hall, history and heritage meet warmth and wonder. This winter, the Hall will be dressed for the season with:

A huge Christmas tree and festive fireplace garland in the Drawing Room
Elegant trees in the Library, Hallway, Dining Room, and Orangery
A traditional garland winding up the Jacobean staircase
The soft glow of candles and crackling fires throughout

It’s an atmosphere that captures everything we love about Christmas - intimate, joyful, and timeless.

Why Winter Weddings Are So Special

There’s a certain kind of romance that only winter brings. Perhaps it’s the way guests gather close by the fire, or how the candlelight seems to make everything glow.

For couples, a winter wedding offers something unique - a chance to embrace the season and create an atmosphere that’s truly unforgettable.

At Goldsborough Hall, you’ll have the Hall exclusively to yourselves - a grand yet welcoming home for your closest family and friends. From crisp winter walks in the gardens to champagne toasts in the Orangery, every moment feels effortlessly elegant.

And when it comes to food, our award-winning 3AA rosette chefs make the most of the season with comforting, luxurious dishes - perfect for a cosy winter feast.
