Bedern Hall is the historic 14th century dining hall of the Vicars Choral of York Minster. We also operate as an events venue in the centre of York that can host a variety of events including wedding ceremonies and receptions and family celebrations. We are open regularly to visitors and residents alike and our courtyard cafe provides a retreat from the busy nearby streets. Bedern Hall Company ope

rates as a Non-Profit; so when you hold an event with us the charges you pay go straight back into the preservation of the Hall. So not only can you enjoy your day with us, but you will also be helping to allow others to do so in the future. Our small but professional team, led by Hall Manager Elly Richmond, will take care of arrangements; this is our business and it’s important to us that your event is a success. Bedern Hall is pleased to support a number of local heritage, cultural, charitable and voluntary sector organisations. By providing such groups with affordable meeting space and helping them organise events we help our City to grow. These groups include Shopmobility York, York Design Awards, York Festival Trust (York Mystery Plays), York Shakespeare Project, Association of Voluntary Guides.
