DIY WEDDINGS & EVENTS
THE BLUEBELL
ABOUT THE PROPERTY
This former country hotel is available on a 3-day hire basis and sleeps 50+ guests across 17 ensuite bedrooms. The central feature is a large glass-roofed atrium that seats 120 guests for a wedding breakfast. French doors open onto a lawned garden suitable for a marquee, so the venue can handle larger parties.
The Bluebell is licensed for civil ceremonies. It operates on a dry hire basis with no corkage, no approved caterers, and no package tie-in. The property is in the village of Burton Agnes, six miles from the coast near Bridlington, in the East Riding of Yorkshire.
THE RECEPTION
The glass atrium seats 120 for a wedding breakfast. The venue has its own PA system fitted, so couples do not need to hire additional sound equipment for a DJ or band. The private terrace and lawn extend the usable space significantly for drinks receptions, games, or a marquee for guests beyond 120.
THE CEREMONY
The Bluebell is licensed for civil ceremonies. Couples can marry inside the glass atrium or outside on the lawn with an open-field view. The atrium works particularly well in winter and autumn, when natural light through the roof keeps the space bright without requiring marquee heating.
ACCOMODATION
Exclusive hire includes all 17 ensuite bedrooms as standard, so there is no splitting bedrooms across different booking categories. The master suite has a super king bed and two bathrooms, making it well-suited for wedding morning preparation. The venue accommodates 50+ guests on-site — enough to cover immediate family, the wedding party, and close friends without anyone needing to book a nearby hotel.
