Group Visits

Bedern Hall is a welcoming medieval refectory in the heart of York. It was formerly the home of The Vicars Choral of York Minster, and now is a Guildhall for four of York’s ancient Guilds as well as a splendid venue for meetings, weddings and dining. Our central location makes us ideal as a base from which to tour the City. Bedern Hall is a three minute walk from York Minster.
