Are there any interesting buildings etc that can be hired out for a day/evening within Huddersfield/surrounding area/over the tops? Nowhere that specialises in wedding venues- I’m not really into that sort of thing.. 🙂

Have a look at the local council website for buildings they have.
Doing a similar thing at the moment but in Barnsley – Elsecar Heritage, Cannon Hall etc are available to hire so I’m sure there will be some similar up that way.

Tolson Museum?
Would you need a drinks licence or stick to bring a bottle?

Funnily enough, we were just taklking about this at work.

Denby Dale pie hall?

one of my friends runs Northorpe Hall at Mirfield if that’s any good to you. It’s mainly a wedding venue IIRC but they do other functions too

Cheers – will have a look. I’m trying to avoid wedding venues, partly due to the premium they might add but also I want to aim for something abit different if possible

That’s a bit naive and restrictive ‘cos anywhere nice will not limit their renting to non-wedding events. Find a location, tell them it’s for a party, don’t say the “wedding” word, see how it goes.
