The Northorpe Barn

The Northorpe Barn is a distinctive 17th-century venue in Mirfield, West Yorkshire, designed for couples, families and organisations looking for a warm and characterful setting for their event. The rustic barn combines original features, exposed materials and a welcoming atmosphere, creating a flexible backdrop for weddings, birthday celebrations, anniversaries, corporate gatherings and selected business events.

Weddings are the venue’s main focus, with options ranging from ceremonies and afternoon receptions to evening celebrations and full-day wedding hire. The barn can accommodate up to 100 guests for a ceremony and daytime reception, or up to 130 guests for an evening event. Organisers can shape the layout and feel of the occasion around their plans, with support available for timings, room arrangements, decorations and supplier recommendations. The venue also offers access to outdoor areas and can work with different catering formats, helping each celebration feel personal rather than standardised.

For businesses, the space can be arranged in cabaret, theatre or boardroom layouts for gatherings of up to 100 people. It may suit conferences, workshops, meetings, team occasions and special events, subject to availability. The venue team provides practical guidance from the first enquiry through to the event itself, helping organisers coordinate the details and keep the day running smoothly.

A defining feature of The Northorpe Barn is its charitable purpose. The venue operates in connection with Northorpe Hall Child & Family Trust, and profits from events support work with children, young people and families across West Yorkshire. Choosing this venue therefore gives organisers a beautiful and flexible place to gather while contributing to an important local cause.
