Charity events at Hotham Hall

Hotham Hall Estate hosts charity events of all sizes. From elegant fundraising dinners in the Georgian rooms to garden parties on the estate grounds, we are proud to help good causes raise money.

Why Hotham Hall

A setting your supporters will talk about

Holding your event in a Grade II* listed Georgian house shows supporters how much the evening matters. Good food from our own kitchen and over 120 acres of Yorkshire countryside help guests feel looked after, which counts when you are asking them to give.

You have the estate to yourselves on the day, with our team focused on your event. From intimate fundraising dinners for 20 guests in the Drawing Room to larger garden parties and active fundraiser events on the estate grounds, we can shape the day around your cause.

Elegant charity dinners in the King Edward Ballroom create a memorable evening for donors and supporters, while drinks receptions and garden parties in the formal gardens offer a more relaxed setting for fundraising and relationship building. For active fundraising events such as sponsored cycling or running challenges, the estate's grounds and parkland make a scenic course. For events requiring overnight accommodation, the Hall's five bedrooms and The Carriage House's 12 en-suite suites mean out-of-town guests and key supporters can stay the night.

How we help

Planned

Personalised Planning

Our team works closely with you from your first enquiry to ensure every detail of your charity event is planned properly. We look after the room layout, styling, and running order, so you can concentrate on your guests and your cause.

Indulge

In-house dining

Our own chefs write a menu for each charity event using seasonal, local ingredients. A good dinner puts guests in a generous mood, which helps on the night.

Historic

Rooms for every format

The Georgian rooms of the Hall, including the King Edward Ballroom, the Prince of Wales Library Bar, the Drawing Room, and the Study, suit charity dinners and receptions well. The Carriage House event spaces and Colonel Jack's Bar offer a more contemporary alternative, while the formal gardens provide a beautiful outdoor option for summer events.
