HISTORIC East Riddlesden Hall has been rated amongst the region's top wedding venues.

The 17th-century National Trust property has received a Hitched Wedding Award.

Wedding planning website Hitched assessed and collated feedback from couples using its services last year, to present the accolades.

Of the 17 venues across Yorkshire to be recognised, seven — including East Riddlesden Hall – are first-time winners in the scheme.

The hall is described as "a landmark wedding venue, steeped in history and lovingly cared for by the National Trust.

"The historic venue is surrounded by incredibly romantic formal gardens, which provide excellent opportunities for wedding photos and the perfect setting for any drinks reception.

"The barn boasts oak beams and stone walls, illuminated by stunning fairy lights, while the formal gardens are also licensed for outdoor ceremonies.

"This is the first Hitched Wedding Award received by East Riddlesden Hall in recognition of the excellent service enjoyed by couples."
