Searching for a unique Yorkshire wedding venue? At YSP we host big days with a difference.

Yorkshire Sculpture Park is a beautiful backdrop for weddings and civil ceremonies, with over 500 acres of parkland, wooded areas, lakes and formal gardens which houses the best collection of outdoor sculpture in Britain by artists including Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth.

Our dedicated team will guide you through every step of planning your most special day and bring your vision to life. We are licensed for indoor ceremonies in the contemporary Auditorium, suitable for intimate gatherings of 30 guests or larger parties of up to 80. Or take your ceremony outdoors in the beautiful, landscaped grounds of the Formal Gardens, with its beautiful 18th-century terrace where you can enjoy post ceremony drinks and canapés.

Ceremonies are available from 15.30, and the entire YSP Centre including The Kitchen Café with its breathtaking views from the balcony or The Weston, with its cool contemporary aesthetic can be exclusively yours for the evening to enjoy delicious, locally sourced, seasonal food and drink, and entertainment.
