Leeds event planner agrees trio of deals for three historic Yorkshire venues

Dine, the Leeds-based event planner, has added three historic venues to its portfolio for corporate hospitality and weddings.

The business has agreed exclusive partnerships with Yorkshire countryside locations Bolton Abbey, Ripley Castle and Dalton Hall to offer celebrations and corporate events in luxury marquees.

The new partnerships are part of Dine’s expansion plans as it seeks to capitalise on a resurgent corporate hospitality market and grow turnover.

Earlier this year, it announced partnerships with ducal ancestral homes Carlton Towers in North Yorkshire and Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire.

Dine posted group turnover of £2.37m in the financial year 2014-15, boosted by year-on-year growth for its outside catering division Dine Events.

Dine can cater for a wide range of celebrations with up to 5,000 guests in a marquee at Bolton Abbey, in the centre of the Yorkshire Dales, and Ripley Castle, near Harrogate.

Dine has secured the Walled Garden at Dalton Hall as its third new venue. The fully enclosed garden is set within the grounds of the 18th century South Dalton Hall.

Each venue is also ideal for corporate events.

The marquees at each venue will be supplied by tent and marquee specialist Shades and can be decorated with bespoke themes or colour schemes. Event management, food and services will be provided by Dine.

Daniel Gill, Dine founder, said: “The popularity of marquee weddings continues to grow, as couples look to add a personal touch to their big day. For this reason, we’re delighted to add this latest raft of unique venues to our roster of stylish wedding venues that are that little bit different.

“We pride ourselves on delivering truly memorable experiences with delicious food in stunning surroundings. Celebrating in our stylish and versatile marquees enables the happy couple to really make their mark on the event through some creative flair and individual touches.”

Established in 1998, Dine caters for more than 100 corporate events and 200 weddings a year as well as offering exclusive private dining.
