Springtime offer for Business Meetings
With daffodils blooming in our courtyard and garden terrace, spring is firmly in the air at Bedern Hall, providing a tranquil haven for productive business meetings in the heart of York’s bustling city centre.
And with our Spring Promotion, you can now experience our stunning medieval venue and our outstanding corporate service, for less, for all events held before the end of May 2016.
Book for a conference, meeting or seminar with lunch or dinner for 12 people at Bedern Hall this spring and you will receive two complimentary places.
For every event for 24 or more delegates, take four places free and 10% off room hire. We can also make arrangements for larger group deals.
Situated just a short 10-minute walk from York train station, Bedern Hall is equipped for private and business entertaining, small conferences, meetings, seminars and exhibitions. Our recently renovated conference room provides free Wi-Fi fibre optic broadband, electronically operated blackout blinds and space for AV equipment.
We believe that food should be part of the event, not just 'fuel'; served in a manner that stimulates conversation and allows work to flow. Our conference catering is second to none; we change the menu seasonally and use produce from our own gardens to include dishes, such as Spicy Parsnip Soup. Fresh cafetiere coffee, handmade biscuits and fresh fruit are included in all bookings.
We’d love you to join us for our free Bedern Hall Foundation Lecture on Thursday 17 March from 6pm to 8pm, where you can discover more about our new vision for the Hall that encompasses education, preservation and accessibility.
Bedern Hall enjoys success at Yorkshire tourism awards
What a night for Bedern Hall at the recent Welcome to Yorkshire White Rose Awards in Leeds, the annual celebration of the very best of the tourism industry throughout Yorkshire.
We scooped a Highly Commended Award in the Business Tourism category at the ceremony held at the First Direct Arena and attended by more than 1,000 finalists and special guests.
In presenting the Award, the judges revealed that they were captivated by Bedern Hall, describing it as a beautiful gem of a meeting place in York, ideal for those seeking a smaller location with a special atmosphere.
Bedern Hall’s Director Roger Lee attended the event and was thrilled with the prestigious accolade, commenting: “This is wonderful recognition and demonstrates that a small business with relatively limited resources can punch above its weight by providing exceptional service.”
“As a non-profit business, we face continuing challenges especially in a period of austerity. However, we have recognised and acted on customer feedback to ensure that we keep ahead of demand. Highly Commended Awards are only given by the White Rose Awards judges where special recognition is deserved so we’re delighted to receive such an accolade in a category filled with other brilliant finalists.”
The Welcome to Yorkshire White Rose Awards, run by official tourism agency Welcome to Yorkshire, are the biggest tourism awards in the UK and have recognised tourism stars for more than 25 years.

Bedern Hall shortlisted for Tourism Award
Here at the Hall we've always done things just that little bit differently and that includes how we work with businesses holding meetings and conferences with us.
So it's a real boost to have our approach to the often formulaic world of the conference recognised by Welcome to Yorkshire and The White Rose Awards as finalists in the Business Tourism category this year.
But whoever you are and whatever event you choose to hold with us you can be assured of the involvement of our small but professional team helping to ensure your event is just as you envisaged.
