The Sawmill combines the warmth of a private members' club with the functionality modern meetings demand. Rich brown and green leather chairs circle polished wooden tables, while exposed brick walls tell stories of this ground-floor space's industrial past. Natural light filters through the windows, complementing the carefully positioned spotlights that illuminate your presentations on the large wall-mounted screen. We've configured this room to adapt to your needs, whether that's 25 colleagues around the boardroom table for strategy sessions, 35 delegates in theatre style for presentations, or 30 guests enjoying a working lunch in banquet format. The U-shaped layout works particularly well for training days with up to 20 participants, while cocktail receptions can accommodate 50 for more informal networking. Our venue sits within York's ancient city walls, just a five-minute walk from York Station. The convenience extends beyond location, with on-site parking available for those driving in. During breaks, delegates often appreciate stepping into our courtyard gardens or grabbing coffee from our restaurant, which uses local Yorkshire suppliers for all catering. The Sawmill's flexible nature means it transitions smoothly from morning workshops to afternoon presentations to evening celebrations. We provide superfast Wi-Fi as standard, and the room's ground-floor access ensures easy equipment delivery for product launches or exhibitions. For multi-day events, we have 56 guest rooms across our connected Grade II listed buildings, plus complimentary access to Emperors Gym for delegates who like to start their day with a workout. Recent accolades include Visit York's Large Hotel of the Year 2023, recognition that reflects our commitment to blending historic character with contemporary meeting requirements. Our experienced events team will work with you to ensure every practical detail is covered.
