Ryedale Folk Museum
Hutton-le-Hole, North Yorkshire, England
About
Ryedale Folk Museum is an open-air museum in Hutton-le-Hole on the edge of the North York Moors, with nine historic ceremony spaces ranging from a 16th-century manor house to an Iron Age roundhouse. Smaller locations such as the Pavilion and the roundhouse take up to 28 guests for a ceremony and reception, priced from 595 pounds for a two-hour hire, while tiny cottages and cabins suit an elopement of two to ten. Couples bring their own picnic or arrange a local caterer, since the museum runs as a daytime-only venue with weddings held Saturday to Thursday. It is a genuinely different setting for couples who want their day to feel like a step back into Yorkshire folk history rather than a conventional hotel ballroom.
