FAQs

Car Parking

There is ample car parking on site for everyone, though we would ask that you keep the front of the venue clear on the day of the wedding for photographs. 

Taxis
If you are going to need a taxi, we strongly recommend you book in advance, as we are not in the city centre and York has a busy social calendar on the weekends. See the “Travel” section for more.

Bath sheets, hand towels, and face cloths are in every bedroom.

We have a beautifully appointed room in the house for ironing and also anyone who may need to fix a minor wardrobe malfunction. Needles and every coloured thread can be found in this quaint room that is a firm favourite with our visitors!

Can I Drink the Water?
Yes, Thicket Priory has filtered spring water throughout the building so all water is drinking water.

The Pantries
Our famous pantries are scattered throughout the building for you to access tea, coffee, hot chocolate, fruit teas and of course a chocolate biscuit. Our favourite has got to be the Tunnocks Teacake!

No Smoking/Vaping
It goes without saying, there is no smoking/vaping in the building.

Wifi
There is Wifi throughout Thicket Priory. We do suggest turning on Wifi calling for better connectivity as the 4G/5G in the countryside isn’t the strongest.
