Treasurer's House is an exceptional historic-house venue in the heart of York, tucked immediately behind York Minster. The property has a history extending from the Roman period through the medieval era and into the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Frank Green purchased the house in 1897 and transformed it into the elaborate town house seen today, filling it with antiques, paintings, textiles and other objects from different periods. He donated the property and its collection to the National Trust in 1930, making it the first house given to the organisation complete with its collection. The house contains 13 historic rooms, carefully maintained as part of its museum collection. Its intimate scale and highly decorated interiors make it particularly appropriate for bespoke private functions, corporate gatherings, receptions and heritage-themed events rather than very large conferences. Cvent currently lists capacity at 100 standing and 65 seated. A major attraction is the award-winning garden, which provides a secluded green space in central York with views towards York Minster. The property also has a café and visitor facilities.
The magnificent Great Hall is the primary indoor event space at Treasurer's House. It features double-height timber-framed ceilings, a dramatic dark wood winding staircase, and stunning 17th-century stained glass windows. This grand room provides an unforgettable historic atmosphere ideal for intimate civil wedding ceremonies and luxury corporate dinners.
The historic dining room forms part of Treasurer's House's preserved domestic interiors and reflects Frank Green's approach to entertaining guests in an elaborate period setting. Its historic character makes it particularly relevant to intimate dinners, receptions and heritage experiences, subject to conservation and event-hire restrictions imposed by the National Trust.
Treasurer's House contains 13 historic rooms displaying Frank Green's collection and the architectural character he created. These include richly furnished domestic interiors containing antiques, paintings, textiles and decorative features.
The tranquil, walled Garden provides a breathtaking outdoor venue option. This manicured space features vibrant floral borders, sunken lawns, and a central fountain statue. It offers unmatched, towering framing views of the neighboring York Minster, making it a spectacular open-air backdrop for wedding drinks receptions, summer functions, and photography.
