I recently had the pleasure of visiting a fantastic new wedding venue in North Yorkshire, The Forge at Birdforth Hall, and I just had to share my experience with you. Nestled in the heart of North Yorkshire, this place is perfect for anyone dreaming of a rustic yet elegant wedding.
I met Sue, the wonderful owner, who runs The Forge with her husband Paul and their daughter Abi. They're a passionate family with a wealth of experience in managing luxury holiday cottages, and now they're pouring all that love and expertise into creating an enchanting wedding venue.
The Forge is truly a labour of love. They've transformed one of their charming barns into a rustic wonderland, perfect for any special day. The venue is steeped in history, originally serving as a blacksmith’s forge for nearly 200 years! They’ve preserved its charm while adding modern touches, creating a magical atmosphere.
One of the highlights of The Forge is its unique blend of rustic charm and modern amenities. The barn is beautifully adorned with fairy lights, festoons, milk churns, and lanterns, creating a stunning ambiance ready for you to personalise. Plus, there’s a suntrap terrace that adds to the venue’s charm. The picturesque Longhorn cattle grazing in the backfield provide a beautiful backdrop for photos and add to the venue’s rustic charm. I was also thrilled to hear that their Shetland pony can also be your very own confetti pony!
The Forge offers flexible packages to suit every couple’s needs and budget, from lavish celebrations to intimate family gatherings. Here’s what you can expect when you book your wedding at The Forge:
