Yes, please see the Travel & Accommodation page for more information. There are lots of options to suit different budgets but we are recommending the Premier Inn or Travelodge in Skipton as a more affordable and convenient option! Bolton Abbey itself has some great places to stay however Skipton is just a short taxi drive away and offers a wider range of options!

Answer

Leeds Bradford is 15.5 miles (approximately 35 minutes drive) away from The Tithe Barn and is the closest airport to the wedding venue. For guests travelling from Ireland, flights run direct from Belfast City Airport (BHD), Belfast International and Dublin. Manchester Airport is 64 miles away (approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes drive) to The Tithe Barn. For guests travelling from Ireland, flights run direct from Derry, Belfast City, Belfast International and Dublin. Guests traveling from London can also fly direct to Manchester. For guests traveling from further afield this would likely be the nearest airport for international flights.
