Events specialist Dine adds historic venue to stable
Leeds-based hospitality and event planner Dine has added a Grade I listed Jacobean-style manor house near York to its growing venue portfolio.
Dine has agreed long-term lease on Howsham Hall and will manage corporate hospitality, wedding celebrations and private parties on an exclusive basis.
The new partnership brings the number of venues managed by Dine to 17 and extends its footprint for bespoke hospitality experiences further into North Yorkshire.
Howsham Hall was a family home for 350 years, and underwent a restoration programme and is now available for private hire.
Howsham Hall is set in 80 acres of parkland in a secluded valley on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds. Designed and built by Sir William Bamburgh in the 17th century, the interiors were remodelled around 1775 by John Carr, best known for his work at Chatsworth, Harewood House and Castle Howard.
Dine founder Dan Gill said: “We are delighted to have agreed terms on this exquisite venue in beautiful surroundings and to play our part in building a sustainable future for the building.
“Howsham Hall was described by art historian Pevsner as one of the sights of the East Riding and is an exceptionally exciting addition to our hand-picked raft of venues in some of the most beautiful locations in the UK.”
Dine’s portfolio also includes The Mansion in Leeds, Bolton Abbey, Wentworth Woodhouse and Ripley Castle.
