Ripley Castle is a historic country-house and events venue situated in the village of Ripley, approximately three miles from Harrogate and close to the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The castle has been associated with the Ingilby family for more than 700 years and combines medieval, Tudor, Georgian and later architectural elements. The building is Grade I listed, while its historic park and gardens also have heritage protection.
As an events venue, Ripley Castle offers a substantial range of rooms within the castle and East Wing. The spaces can be used individually or in combination for conferences, business meetings, private dinners, receptions, weddings and corporate entertaining. The Long Gallery is the largest principal indoor space, with published capacities of up to 150 theatre-style and 120 banquet-style. The Amcotts Room can accommodate up to 120 theatre-style and 80 banquet-style guests.
Smaller rooms include the Morning Room, Library, Dining Room, Sir Henry Room, Lady Alicia Room and Map Room, allowing the estate to accommodate anything from small meetings to substantial receptions. The venue also has outdoor space and a marquee option, with some listings reporting capacity of up to 200 standing.
Its combination of historic architecture, landscaped grounds, lake, gardens, catering, private rooms and flexible event configurations makes Ripley Castle particularly suitable for weddings, conferences, corporate entertaining, private dining, meetings, receptions and outdoor events.
