The Cavendish Pavilion

Situated in the heart of The Bolton Abbey Estate, The Cavendish Pavilion is the perfect riverside venue for refreshments and a bite to eat as part of your family day out – serving hot and cold drinks, hand-made cakes, sandwiches and hot food every day. Opened in 1890, it very much resembles a Victorian style station building. In the evening, in its magical setting, the Cavendish Pavilion is transformed into a fantastic party venue or a breathtaking Yorkshire Dales wedding venue.

The Cavendish Pavilion is undeniably inspirational. A place where elegant entertaining meets the natural beauty of the River Wharfe, offering everything you could need for a wedding party with a difference. The room features a traditional fireplace, integral bar and can be decorated to complement any theme you have in mind. With stunning exterior views, it’s also the perfect place for your guests to spill outside and enjoy the evening overlooking the river.

The setting is complemented by expert organisation; great tasting food and friendly attentive staff, all of which combine to help make your day one to remember.

Good food is freshly prepared in our own kitchens using the best quality local produce – we can even organise bespoke menus to suit your taste. The Cavendish Pavilion is completely exclusive to you from 6.30pm (access is available from 5.00pm subject to an additional charge).
