The Hospitium York

The Hospitium is a versatile 14th Century listed building which also has two storey’s. It is available throughout the day and the evening and is also licensed to hold weddings and civil ceremonies. The venue is set within the beautiful York Museum Gardens which can be found in York’s city centre. The striking Grade 1 listed ruins of St. Mary’s Abbey overlooks The Hospitium and the Museum gardens.

The Medieval rooms are not only stunning, but can host seated banquets for up to 130 guests, drinks receptions for up to 180 guests, and seated buffets for up to 110 guests. Then there are the gardens, which are just as beautiful as the rooms. I love photographing weddings here. Using the architecture of the Abbey ruins and the Hospitium makes for some amazing Bride and Groom photos.

The York Museums Trust is a registered charity that both own and operate The Hospitium. They reinvest any proceeds from their weddings and events into the work of the museums and gallery. So by choosing the Hospitium, you are not just choosing an amazing venue, but you are also supporting the fantastic buildings, collections, learning and events that the Trust runs to bring Yorkshires past to life.
