The Black Swan Hotel

The Black Swan Hotel is a historic coaching inn located prominently in Market Place in the North Yorkshire market town of Helmsley. The property combines Elizabethan, Tudor and Georgian architectural elements and has a history dating back to the 15th century. Today it operates as a hotel, restaurant and event venue, providing a characterful setting close to the North York Moors. Our hotel has 60 bedrooms and offers several spaces suitable for meetings, conferences, private dining, weddings and receptions. Published conference information states that the hotel can accommodate up to 90 delegates, while individual room capacities are generally suited to smaller meetings and social functions. Its event offering includes meeting facilities, Wi-Fi, catering, private dining, outdoor barbecues and access to an events field where outdoor team-building activities can be arranged. The hotel's location also makes it suitable for corporate away days and smaller residential events requiring accommodation. For weddings and private functions, the property has historically offered exclusive-use packages, allowing guests to use the bedrooms, restaurant, bar, function rooms and private gardens. The Gallery and Garden Room have been promoted for civil ceremonies and receptions.
