Stay beneath the same North Yorkshire sky

Helperby Walled Garden offers on-site wedding accommodation, so your closest people don’t have to disappear into taxis and separate hotels when the music finishes. The Gardener’s Cottage sleeps your wedding party right beside the garden, and up to 100 guests can glamp in the field – then everyone wakes to one final morning together before leaving by 11.00am.

Gardener’s Cottage

Light, comfortable and close enough to step into the garden the moment you’re ready, the cottage is made for the important hours before the ceremony as much as the quiet one after the day is done. There’s space for hair and make-up, a fully equipped kitchen and, naturally, somewhere to open the first bottle of something cold. It’s yours alone throughout – no sharing, no crossover.
Cottage facts: Sleeps up to 6 across 3 beds.

It keeps everyone together, makes getting home simple and means nobody has to worry about driving at the end of the night. You can also leave your cars in the garden car park overnight and collect in the morning. 

One last morning

Overnight guests depart by 11am, giving everyone time to wake, gather their things and share the last stories before the garden becomes quiet again.
