About Cafe Bar
130 Standing / Reception
80 Seated
The Café Bar transforms from our popular daytime spot into your private riverside retreat once the gallery closes. Floor-to-ceiling windows run the entire length of the space, bringing the River Calder right to your table as the evening light catches the water. We've watched countless celebrations here, from milestone birthdays where guests spilled onto the terrace with champagne to corporate parties that started formal and ended with everyone dancing between the hanging plants. The room holds 80 for seated dinners or 130 for standing receptions, and we arrange the sleek modern furniture to suit your event. Our tables work equally well for elegant place settings or casual cocktail rounds. The riverside terrace and Tom Stuart-Smith sculpture garden become extensions of your party space, particularly magical during summer months when guests naturally flow between inside and out. Being fully licensed means we craft drinks to match your celebration. Our bar team knows their craft, whether you want signature cocktails named after Hepworth sculptures or local ales for a relaxed gathering. The kitchen sources ingredients from Yorkshire suppliers, creating menus that change with the seasons. We've served everything from canapés during gallery exhibition launches to three-course dinners for wedding parties. The contemporary space, with its clean lines and abundant greenery, creates an atmosphere that feels both sophisticated and relaxed. Natural light shifts throughout evening events, moving from bright afternoon gatherings to atmospheric nighttime parties. The artistic setting of the main gallery surrounds your event, offering something genuinely different from typical party venues. Transport links make it easy for guests to arrive, with the riverside location providing a memorable backdrop that photographers particularly love capturing during golden hour celebrations.
