With breathtaking views, romantic indoor spaces, and plenty of natural charm, The Fleece creates an atmosphere your guests will feel just as deeply as you do. And when the day arrives, you won’t just be hosting a wedding, you’ll be creating unforgettable memories.
Whether you’re dreaming of an intimate, candlelit gathering or a joyful celebration surrounded by everyone you love, we’re here to make it feel effortless, personal, and uniquely yours.
We know how overwhelming wedding planning can feel at the start, too many options, too many opinions, and pressure to make it perfect. That’s why we’ve created clear, flexible packages that give you confidence and breathing space, with the option to customise.
You’ll have support from our experienced team every step of the way, so you can focus on the moments that matter
Let’s start planning your day, your way.

Your Ceremony
at The Fleece
A ceremony that feels just right for you and your guests
Say “I do” surrounded by rustic charm, oak floors, and timber beams in our Grade II listed licensed ceremony space. Perfect for civil ceremonies, blessings, partnerships, and vow renewals. You’ll have exclusive access to your function room, private bar, and outdoor terrace to make your day feel intimate and seamless.
We can host guest lists up to 110, but if your vision is something more intimate and cosy, we’ll tailor the space to suit. Big or small, we’ll help you design a day that is perfect for you!
Prefer a more traditional church wedding? You’re welcome to marry at any church you choose, but if you’re looking local, there are three beautiful parish churches just a few miles from us here in Ripponden. After the service, we’ll be ready to welcome you with Prosecco and handcrafted canapés to begin the celebrations.
Wedding Breakfast
Memorable moments, unforgettable flavours
Your first meal as a married couple should be unforgettable and with our Executive Chef’s 30+ years of experience in Rosette and Michelin-standard kitchens, it will be. From hearty winter roasts to fresh, vibrant summer dishes, our menus are crafted with love using the best local ingredients.
Before the big day, you’ll be invited to our Wedding Taster Evenings where you can choose dishes that feel just right for you and your guests.
Prefer something even more relaxed? We also offer stylish buffet options to create a laid-back dining experience that still rises to the occasion.
Evening Reception
Let the Party commence!
A celebration where no one misses a moment.
When the sun sets, it’s time to slip on your dancing shoes and soak in every second of the night. At The Fleece, everything is designed to keep the energy flowing and your guests connected. The dance floor, bar, seating areas, buffet and terrace are all close together, so no one drifts away or misses out on the magic.
Our in-house DJ keeps the party alive with the perfect mix, while our Cocktail Bar serves handcrafted drinks with flair.
With space for up to 200 guests, your evening at The Fleece will be filled with great vibes, amazing food and fabulous drinks!
Stay Over
A place to rest, reconnect, and make things easy for everyone.
After a day full of love, laughter, and celebration, your closest friends and family can settle in just steps away in one of our seven beautifully styled country bedrooms — including two family rooms, four doubles, and a luxurious honeymoon suite just for you.
In the morning, enjoy a relaxed breakfast together and relive the magic of the night before — it’s the perfect way to wrap up the weekend.
Got more guests? No stress! There’s a great selection of nearby accommodation just minutes from the venue including a large premier inn and beautiful Air BnB’s.
To make things easier, we’ll provide a list you can drop straight into your invites or wedding website. So thats one less thing to worry about.
