Ripley Castle - Conference Venue in Harrogate,North Yorkshire,Yorkshire,United Kingdom

As you walk across the impressive courtyard and towards the front entrance of the castle, the magnificent views from the terrace across lakes and park catch your eye.

Reception and Dining rooms range from our oak-panelled Tudor Tower Room and Library to cheerful Georgian splendour in the Morning Room and Dining Room. Guests will enjoy the tranquillity and attentive service whilst sipping champagne either from the Drawing Rooms or Terrace overlooking the lake. A guide will be available to bring to life over 700 years of family history including the secret priest's hiding place and civil war armour.

We employ our own brigade of chefs, and they are consistently achieving high standards of cuisine throughout a wide ranging menu selection. All our mouth watering menus are priced to include a champagne reception, your chosen wines and mineral water with the meal, and decorative table centre flower arrangements. You can budget with total confidence and organisers don't have to worry every time another cork is pulled. Easy access, beautiful setting, great ambiance, memorable surroundings, together with first class accommodation at The Boar's Head Hotel. We take the trouble so that you can take the credit. Ripley Castle operates a no smoking policy.

We are very easy to find and easy to get to from just about everywhere: we are fifteen minutes off the A1 and 45 minutes from the M1 and M62. Leeds Bradford Airport, which has regular flights to London and Europe, is less than 30 minutes away. Half-hourly GNER train services come to York and Leeds from London Kings Cross: the journey to York takes 1 ¾ hours, and it's a 45 minute drive from York to Ripley.

Ripley is a fantastic place in which to hold a high profile corporate event. The setting is stunning, the service is friendly and efficient, and the catering is exceptional. You don't get to host meetings of the World Trade Organisation without setting and maintaining the highest standards, and we are in that league. We believe in planning everything down to the last detail and you receive a copy of our event sheet so that you always know what is going to happen, and when. Our prices are reassuringly competitive: yes, value for money still means a lot to us here in Yorkshire! You specify what you want, and we will deliver it, on time and to your budget. Ripley also makes an excellent setting for low-profile events: those moments when you just want to get the team together for sales and marketing meetings, teambuilding or training sessions, board meetings or discussions away from the workplace. Ripley offers privacy and discretion in the relaxed surroundings of an ancient and beautiful deer park, seventeen acres of lake and magnificent walled gardens and pleasure grounds.

The first-class comfort of the Boar's Head Hotel (25 rooms, all double or twin) is a two minute stroll from the front door of the castle: ideal for the small to medium residential event when you want to combine serious business with good food and relaxed enjoyment. The Boar's Head is part of the Ripley Castle Estate so everything can be billed on one invoice for ease of accounting. At Ripley Castle we work very hard to ensure that business becomes a pleasure.
