About Ryedale Folk Museum

Ryedale Folk Museum is a place where history is brought to life through its incredible buildings and collections. The open-air Museum is at the heart of the picturesque village of Hutton-le-Hole, in the truly beautiful North York Moors National Park.

There are nine unique ceremony locations at the Museum, each offering their own character, charm and quirks! Set within a six-acre site, the Museum’s buildings, collections and grounds offer a unique way to entertain your guests and we're dog-friendly too. You can take advantage of the beautiful setting and stunning surrounding North Yorkshire countryside for your wedding photographs. 

The Museum is delighted to host elopement weddings or intimate ceremonies, from 2 guests up to 58 guests (licensed for civil ceremonies and partnerships), as well as vow renewals and blessings.

Their informal reception options (celebratory drinks and serving of your wedding cake) can be added to any wedding or ceremony booking. Exclusive Use is also available, on Fridays, with the option to bring in a mobile caterer/bar.

    I just want to say thank you so, so much for all the hard work you and the team at Ryedale put into our special day. It was perfect – even the drizzly rain! The Manor House looked absolutely beautiful. It really meant a lot that we could get married somewhere with so much history behind it.

    We actually came across Ryedale Folk Museum by chance after having our original wedding cancelled, and we are now so happy that it happened, because Ryedale Folk Museum was exactly what we wanted without even realising. Our only spec was "We want a wedding, that doesn't feel like a wedding". We wanted a relaxed and casual venue that was intimate and felt personal, and Ryedale did just that. It wasn't an average wedding venue, and that's why we loved it so much. The Roundhouse was as authentic as you can get, which is why we chose that specific venue. The staff at Ryedale Folk Museum did all they could to help us and make everything run as smoothly as possible. Organising a wedding (especially without a wedding planner) is supposed to be one of the most stressful events of your life, but I can honestly say it didn't feel like that with the Ryedale Folk Museum. Having a small and intimate wedding, and having the help from Kirsty and all the staff at the museum ensured the day went ahead without a glitch. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone wanting not your average wedding. It was the most perfect day we could ever ask for, and we wouldn't change a thing.

    We had the most wonderful day. Thank you to you and everyone who helped our wedding run so smoothly. We couldn't have picked a more beautiful setting and feel really privileged to have been able to marry in the Manor House which was such a lovely space. Having the whole Museum just for us and our guests was magical. And even with the full 5 hours I think most people plan to return as there was so much to see!
