Venue Love: Escrick Park Estate, top tips & special offers to help you plan your wedding or event

If you are in the exciting throws of planning your wedding, event or celebration, and are searching for your perfect venue, do make sure you check out our Little Black Book. With thousands of amazing venues in the UK to hold your wedding or event, we certainly understand the struggle of finding a venue to house our Teepee’s and Sperry Tents. Therefore, to help with this timely and excruciating task, we’ve devised a section in the Little Black Book to help with this process. Every venue and supplier you see listed has PapaKata’s, and most importantly our clients, stamp of approval.

Over the next couple of months, we’ll be sharing profiles of some of our favourite venues as well as extending exclusive offers and tips to help you plan your perfect PapaKåta event. So, without further ado, here’s a taste of one of Papa’s most loved venues:

We fell in love with Escrick Park Estate over 10 years ago when we held our first open weekend there, since then, we’ve continued our long-lasting love affair and completed over 40 events within the beautiful surroundings. Each one as spectacular as the first. Within a stone’s throw of the picturesque city of York, with its boutique shops, hotels and historic landmarks, Escrick Park Estate is set within 17 acres of green parkland, meaning there’s no limit to the number of Teepees or Sperry tents you can have. If your guest numbers are on the rise and you’re wanting to make the most of the lush green surroundings, consider a tented village for a relaxed festival vibe, or for a more elegant affair, a terraced area or cocktail garden, allowing guests to spill out of the tents and enjoy a drinks reception in the great outdoors.
