About The Hospitium
Standing proud on ancient stone foundations, The Hospitium has witnessed over 600 years of York's history. We're fortunate to care for this remarkable 14th-century building, where original timber beams frame views of St. Mary's Abbey ruins through Gothic windows. Our two-story venue sits within Museum Gardens, just a 10-minute walk from York Railway Station. The medieval architecture creates an extraordinary atmosphere for weddings - we can host up to 100 guests for your ceremony in our main hall, where sunlight filters through historic windows onto honey-colored stone walls. For wedding breakfasts, we accommodate 120 seated guests, with the abbey ruins providing a romantic backdrop through every season. Beyond weddings, our flexible spaces work beautifully for different occasions. We regularly transform the halls for conferences (150 theatre-style), workshops (70 cabaret-style), and private celebrations. Our team recently installed modern AV equipment throughout, including hearing loops and livestream capabilities, ensuring medieval charm meets contemporary needs. Access is important to us - we've carefully integrated ramps and lifts that preserve the building's character while ensuring everyone can enjoy our spaces. Our accessible facilities include adapted toilets on both floors. Parking is available nearby on Museum Street and surrounding areas. What makes The Hospitium special for weddings is the combination of indoor grandeur and outdoor beauty. Your guests can wander the Museum Gardens during drinks receptions, discovering hidden corners and ancient ruins. Our civil ceremony license means you can hold your entire celebration here, from vows to evening festivities. Whether planning an intimate ceremony or grand reception, our experienced team helps couples navigate the unique considerations of a historic venue while creating the wedding day you've imagined.
