A 900-year-old estate in the Yorkshire Dales held by the same family since 1097, Broughton Sanctuary brings together five stately state rooms, a Sacred Heart Chapel, 17 hall bedrooms and 100+ estate beds for exclusive-use weddings immersed in ancient parkland and a philosophy of mindful celebration. The venue can accommodate up to 80 guests for your wedding celebration.
The Tempest family has held Broughton Hall since 1097 — a tenure so long that the Yorkshire Dales landscape feels less like a backdrop and more like an inheritance. Today the estate operates as Broughton Sanctuary, a living, breathing community where wellness retreats and celebrations share the same ancient parkland, and where the food philosophy ('good for you and kind to the planet') shapes the wedding menu as much as the chef's instincts.
Weddings at Broughton are built around the hall itself: five state rooms, a conservatory for arrival drinks, a Saloon that comes alive for dancing, and a Red Drawing Room and Library for quieter moments between. The Sacred Heart Chapel brings a genuine Catholic ceremony option that few comparable properties can offer, while the woodland sauna, wild swimming pond and Fire Temple are available for couples who want their celebration to spill well beyond the hall's walls. A three-night stay is standard — and with 100+ beds across the sanctuary estate, everyone who matters can be there for all of it.
