🐑 The Lambing Shed 🐑
We are so proud of the dining room as Woolas Barn, previously used to lamb and house cute little lambs with their mothers until they were strong enough to go outside, it now boasts a striking vaulted ceiling draped with twinkling lights.
Framed with exposed brickwork and large glass doors allowing plenty of natural light and picturesque views across the courtyard and beyond.
It’s the perfect space to host up to 120 guests for your wedding breakfast and it really is the place that makes you and your guests say “wow” 👀!
Dressed gorgeously for Ciara and Jacks wedding.

“This will be my first time performing at Woolas Barn, and I can’t wait to showcase what I can offer here. Barn venues truly are special with great acoustics, which make performing in them an absolute joy. Woolas Barn is a family run venue, which allows you to develop a special relationship to ensure you create your dream wedding. If you are attending the open day please come and say hello, and even request a song which I can play whilst you look around the venue. I look forward to chatting about your wedding plans!”
We are really excited to have Martin, fantastic reviews, we’ve had a good old listen to him and he is amazing.
We really encourage all couples to make the most of the suppliers at the open day, you wouldn’t ordinarily get to sample your musician in your venue before booking him. Martin has a wonderfully eclectic repertoire, so check him out.

Originally built in 1863 and renovated in 2018, Woolas Barn is a unique rural wedding venue based on a family-run 400 acre farm, within 20 minutes drive from the historic city of York and 30 minutes from Leeds centre.
Blending rustic character with modern details, the venue is comprised of three seamlessly linked areas - the Courtyard, the Granary and The Lambing Shed.
The large outdoor courtyard has easterly views across to the Yorkshire Wolds and in the evening a beautiful night sky, perfect for enjoying toasting marshmallows on the firepits after the sun goes down.
The oldest part of Woolas Barn is the Granary. Featuring a rustic bar, reception area and most importantly space to strut your stuff when the music starts. Upstairs lie two cosy snugs providing the perfect place to enjoy a chat with old friends over a cocktail or two!
The Lambing Shed now boasts a striking vaulted ceiling and glass doors providing views across the Courtyard and beyond. There is a natural warmth and energy about the space in which you can sit down and dine with up to 130 of your closest friends and family.
Viewings are by appointment only.
We are more than happy to answer any questions you may have so please do not hesitate to get in touch and ask them :)
