Information For The Highfield House
You will feel at one with nature in this beautiful wedding venue set in the Yorkshire countryside and surrounded by woodlands, manicured gardens and a stunning protected arboretum.
There is nothing ordinary about Highfield House. Every detail of our beautiful Yorkshire wedding venue has been lovingly crafted by our family team, and we will take the same bespoke approach to organising your wedding day. We don't do packages, we do build dreams. From our first meeting with you, we take the time to tap into your imagination and really understand how you see your special day. We then work with you to transfer that vision from your mind's eye into reality, creating an occasion full of memorable moments that you and your guests will treasure forever.
Our couples have exclusive use of our house and grounds from their pre-wedding preparations to the ceremony itself, wedding breakfast, evening party, and first breakfast together. From welcoming your guests in our stunning Entrance Hall with its period stained glass windows; to the ceremony in our Great Hall with its vaulted ceiling and wrought iron chandeliers; and your wedding breakfast in the Drawing Room with its elegant carved ceilings and stunning open fireplace, which can be transformed into a dance floor in the evening. Then there is our cosy Library Bar snug, and comfy Palm Parlour for guests who choose to take a little time out from the festivities in a quieter corner.
In fair weather, you can spill out into our idyllic patio and garden area, bordered by an array of beautiful trees and flowers, and a small stream, for lawn games or simply socialising in the outdoors. Younger guests are also catered for, with lawn games, picnic and dressing-up boxes, and play tents.
And when the shared celebrations are over, the bride and groom can enjoy their first night as a married couple in the secluded bliss of our beautiful bridal suite or one of our luxuriously designed bedrooms.
But it is our family touch which we believe makes the nuptials we arrange here at Highfield extra-special. The venue is run by our Lampard family team, a lovely, friendly (if slightly quirky) bunch who stop at nothing to make your celebration incredible.
We also work with a number of trusted suppliers, and can guide you on sourcing any aspect of your day, from catering to photography and flowers.

Wedding of our dreams
Jodie and the team at Highfield were absolutely incredible in helping to organise our dream wedding weekend. We hired the venue from Friday lunchtime through to Sunday and were made to feel like royalty for the duration of our stay. We started the weekend with a BBQ for close friends and family on the Friday evening - unfortunately it poured it down with rain so we had to relocate inside - this was however no trouble at all and the staff changed up the grand hall into a beautiful dining room complete with candles and music. The salt beef was some of the best i have ever eaten and the prawns were huge!! All of our guests were looked after by the bar staff afterwards as we all enjoyed a few drinks in the parlour.
On our wedding day, Vicki and the team were on hand to make sure that everyone had everything that they needed - including extra hash browns for the bridesmaids! Again, the rain meant that we couldn't have the outdoor ceremony that we had hoped for but this was no problem - the Grand Hall became the most beautiful room i have ever seen and the staff were so quick to organise our guests.
Throughout the rest of the day, the team at Highfield could not do enough for us, whether this was ensuring that the bride and groom had a drink or wiping down Groomsmen and Bridesmaids after a spilt drink or two! The team were absolutely fantastic and were on a first name basis with a lot of guests by the end of the weekend. Special thanks go to Abbie, Harvey and Charlotte and also to Vicki who is a literal wonderwoman!!
Our wedding breakfast meal was some of the tastiest food we have eaten and despite having nearly 80 guests, the staff ensured that everyone was fed and kept topped up with drinks as a priority. So many guests have complimented our menu and commented on the standard of the food being incredible!
We cannot thank Highfield enough for everything that they have done for us and feel genuinely honoured to have been able to spend our wedding weekend with them.
If you are thinking about booking your wedding at Highfield, do it! It will be the best decision you have ever made!!

Amazing!! Will be recommending to everyone!
Wow wow wow, we had an amazing day! I can’t fault anything about the day! From the front of house staff, to the chefs and the cleaners everyone couldn’t have done enough for us and our guests! Shout out to Jodie for being so amazing and helping out with all the details she really made the wedding planning process and the day run so smoothly.
We visited Highfield for a Sunday dinner over a year and a half ago and knew once we drove up the drive that we had to get married here, every detail has been done to such a high standard.
We can’t wait to come back time and time again.
Thank you again so so much for making our wedding the most amazing day, I think we will be talking about this day for a long time as well as our guests!

A magical marriage venue
Highfield House hosted our wedding in March 2024 and made our big day so special. Jodie was highly responsive and accommodating of our requests in the run-up to the day, and incredibly supportive on the day itself. All the staff were professional, courteous, warm and friendly, and added to the magic of the occasion. The venue is astounding - the interior decor is breathtaking and the grounds are beautiful. The food and drink were top-class, too. Highly recommended as a wedding venue. Have your ceremony in the Great Hall for a touch of grandeur and be sure to have photos taken down by the lake.

Pure Magic
t's been two months since we got married at Highfield House and it really was pure magic from start to finish!
From the very first visit we knew it was the venue for us - there is nothing like it in our local area, such a unique place and I said it felt like walking around my brain. It was everything we had been looking for! Lindsey and Andy have really made this place beautiful from top to bottom.
Jodie (events manager) was on hand throughout the whole journey to help us with anything we needed and really made our wedding experience so enjoyable. She is the warmest soul, a pure joy to work with and made us feel so at ease on the day and during the build up. Every time we visited Highfield before the wedding for drinks or even just a meeting, she made us feel like old friends - so comfortable and relaxed.
Charlotte (bar manager) was also an absolute dream to work with. So brilliant at her job - very accommodating with our requests and the cocktails were amazing! She also came to me at one point during the day and gave me the cork from the first bottle that was popped after we were married - such a special moment, so thoughtful and had me in tears of joy.
Vicki was also brilliant! On hand the day before and all day for anything we needed - a true professional! Vicki is also an amazing florist and did the flowers for our big day - making our vision come to life so perfectly. If you are getting married at Highfield, we would highly recommend booking Vicki to be your florist, you absolutely won't regret it!
We had so many compliments from our guests on the day and afterwards about how beautiful the venue was, how gorgeous the food tasted and how brilliant all of the staff were!
Special mention to Lily - after booking Highfield for our wedding, we visited for a stay on the year-to-the-day pre anniversary. Lily was working that night and was such a ray of sunshine. She made her first cocktail at the venue and served it to me nervously but she needn't have been worried as it was absolutely delicious! So delicious that we included it on the cocktail menu for our big day. Even more special, Lily was outside the Great Hall after our wedding ceremony to greet us with our very first drink as newlyweds. An absolute star and a credit to Highfield!
Nothing we could write could ever explain how amazing our wedding day at Highfield was and we cannot wait to come back every year for our anniversary.

An incredible wedding party at an incredible venue
We recently had our wedding party at Highfield, and the day could not have been any more perfect. Everything went so smoothly, and so much of that is due to the awesome Highfield team. Jodie was amazing at helping us realise our vision for the day- and on the day itself along with Charlotte, Vicki and the incredible Highfield team delivered an absolutely seamless experience. All of our guests have been telling us how amazing the day was, how fantastic the staff were, how tasty the food was, and how much they love Highfield itself!
We had a solid amount of suppliers throughout the day and the logistics were just flawless, we didn't have to think about anything as it was all just perfectly taken care of.
We fell in love with the house from the moment we saw it, and being able to celebrate our wedding in such an amazing space still blows our minds. The owners Andrew & Lindsey have made this house & grounds into something truly special.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to all of the team at Highfield, you're all amazing & made our celebrations something absolutely out of this world.

Exceeded our expectations
We didn't know much about Highfield when we booked to go and look around the first time. It ended up being one of the first venues we went to see, and after that initial visit no other venue compared in our minds. The building itself is stunning and so unlike anything else we had seen (or would see). Each has its own unique theme, and it is so well decorated. We were blown away by the tour we were taken on. And to be honest when we left, every venue we saw after that, my wife came away saying "...well, it's no Highfield". The grounds are stunning, and despite being off a main round once you’re inside you could be miles away from the nearest people.
Jodie, the events manager at Highfield, is an absolute credit to the team there. She is so so so good at her job. It cannot be overstated how much she helped us to pull off a wedding from that first meeting to the day itself (in less than 9 months, I might add), she was there every step of the way. She helped us to focus on the things that mattered most to us, and to save time and money by not having the things that we weren't interesting in. They have wedding packages, but that was more of a guide because everything we got was customised to what we wanted/ needed from our day. Even down to the menu, which we were able to include traditional India food for the fussy eaters on my wife's side. Jodie did so much for us, and she was as much a part of our special day as the best men and bridesmaids. From day 1, she did everything she could to make our dream a reality, and then some – she suggested things we had never even considered.
On the wedding day, the three things that every one of our guests commented on were:
1. The venue is stunning
2. The staff here are so friendly and helpful
3. This food is incredible
And they were all correct. They took care of every detail, every thing we wanted was seen to, no matter how big or small. It was all so well organised – we were able to just enjoy our day and not have to worry about anything else. The kitchen did an amazing job, especially with the additions we made to their set menu. Months on and I’m still being told it was the best sticky toffee pudding they’ve ever had.
Do yourselves a favour and book an appointment with Jodie – you won’t regret it!

It was an overall fantastic experience to have our wedding at the Highfield, not only stunning, the food was great, staff was fab and helpful, always smiling, rooms are spacious, the bar was great, and we did everything in the same building! It was a relief to be able choose a package that we could afford and make it bespoke. They were flexible and worked with us to accommodate what we wanted which was an intimate, detailed focused weekend with personality. Bonus points to the staff having good taste! I trust them all blindly- from food, to styling, to drinks!-and all their recommended vendors were fantastic, we kept it local and made the whole weekend quite special. The venue’s wedding coordinator helped along the way. I have to say we have had good feedback from our suppliers as well, as they liked working with the venue. We truly have no regrets, would not change a thing! We had our dream wedding and we will be forever grateful to The Highfield

A wonderful weekend
Lindsey and her team ensured our son’s wedding was perfect at the most fantastic of venues. We all enjoyed a wonderful weekend and I genuinely cannot identify anything which I think could have been better! From the warm and friendly welcome we all received on the Friday to saying goodbye on the Sunday we really appreciated the team’s calm professionalism, organisation and high standards of catering all delivered with warmth and empathy.
From my perspective it was a fantastic weekend of celebration and has taken me a week to restore my emotional equilibrium
