A VENUE IN NORTH YORKSHIRE
One of the Best Views in North Yorkshire
Thief Hall is located just outside the village of Thornton-le-Moor in the middle of the North Yorkshire countryside, with rolling fields, farmland and views that stretch for miles, from the iconic North Yorkshire landmark Penhill and Wensleydale to the distinctive “golf balls” of RAF Menwith Hill, near Harrogate. We might be biased, but we truly believe we have one of the best views in North Yorkshire - the perfect photo backdrop for your wedding pictures.
THE SETTING
Nestled between two market towns
Giving the best of both worlds, Thief Hall is situated between the market towns of Northallerton and Thirsk, which both have fantastic rail transport links to London and Edinburgh. So whether you’re a country or a city mouse, our location is always a crowd pleaser. With close access to the A19 and A1, you and your wedding guests can easily find us and get home at the end of the wedding celebrations. Of course, we offer the option for your guests to stay on-site and keep the party going into the early hours.

Where does a North Yorkshire resident give notice?

Who books the registrar for a ceremony at Thief Hall?
Registrar bookings for ceremonies at Thief Hall go through North Yorkshire Council. Its current guidance asks couples to include their preferred date and venue, and says the registrar should be available before the venue time and date are confirmed.
Can a civil ceremony take place outside?
Thief Hall is licensed for indoor and outdoor civil ceremonies. North Yorkshire Council confirms that legal outdoor ceremonies may take place in the grounds of an approved venue when the venue offers that option, with an alternative indoor room reserved for unsuitable weather.
How does staying on site change a county-wide guest plan?
Across the estate, the six cottages and six timber pods make room for around 50 guests. Additional beds can raise that total. Those guests make the road journey before the wedding and do not need a late return, leaving the remaining transport plan to be grouped by each guest's real destination.
