1885 The Venue

1885 The Venue is a family-run function house and restaurant at the recreation ground in Stainland, near Halifax, overlooking the Pennine hills. It holds a civil licence for ceremonies and hosts one event at a time, so couples have the whole venue. The function room holds up to 100 guests and has a dancefloor and private bar. The venue states there are no set numbers or required packages. Its 2026 brochure lists wedding packages, with the Summer and Autumn and Winter packages based on 40 day and 80 evening guests, and an in-house chef. Guest bedrooms can be booked for wedding guests. Prices, ceremony capacity, dog policy and the number of bedrooms are not published.
