Discounted weddings at York House this summer to mark its centenary
23 June 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
Richmond Council is marking 100 years of York House as a public building by offering 100 couples the chance to marry there at a special discounted rate between July and September 2026.
The seventeenth-century house in Twickenham — about 20 minutes from Barnes by car or bus — is opening two of its most distinctive rooms for the occasion. The Salon, an ornate space overlooking the front driveway, and the Winter Garden, which has a striking original glass-dome roof and views across grounds that run down to the Thames, are both available for ceremonies.
The offer has been designed to keep things straightforward: ceremonies are intended to be simple and low-stress, making the package appealing for couples who want an elegant, historically significant venue without the complexity of a full wedding-venue hire.
Places are limited to 100 couples across the summer window, so anyone interested should register early. Richmond Council says selected dates will be made available; full booking details are on the council's website.
York House has been at the centre of civic life in the borough since 1926. Full details of the centenary wedding offer are available at richmond.gov.uk.
