About the venue

Built in 1906 as a ‘Palace of Business’, originally the headquarters for one of the most powerful railway companies in England, it was built during the Golden Age of travel.

The Grand is an iconic building, which reflects the elegance and glamour of the period, the success and wealth of the company that commissioned it. As far as York conference venues go, The Grand provides the perfect backdrop for your meetings and events. We have a total of 6 event spaces complete with WiFi, which can be expanded to 7 when utilising the beautiful the Cookery School meeting space. The Cookery School at The Grand opened in March 2019 and is entirely self-contained, creating the perfect setting for corporate groups and private parties. Experience express, half-day, and full-day courses focussing on a selection of international cuisines and speciality classes along with teambuilding experiences set to add a dynamic and immersive element to conference and events for our business clientele. Led by Cookery School Director, Marc Williams, the state-of-the-art kitchen includes 16 workstations, each of which can comfortably accommodate two cooks working side-by-side, offering a superb team-building opportunity. The Cookery School also has a large, modern meeting space for delegates to further enjoy the culinary atmosphere. The Cookery School experience offers a wholly interactive addition to an event, giving attendees the opportunity to relax and engage with one other. Take some time away from working and bring the team together. Whether it’s learning new skills in the kitchen, a spot of stargazing or even some competitive axe throwing, The Grand, York is the perfect location for your next team building event. With its versatile event spaces and city centre location it is ideal for visitors from across the country. Intimate, fine dining can be offered in the Legacy Restaurant which offers a modern British and Yorkshire inspired menu alongside an exceptional wine list, served in an iconic setting. The restaurant boasts innovative cuisine and interiors with locality, sustainability, and great northern hospitality at its core. Group and private dining can also be offered both in our AA Rosette awarded restaurant, The Rise and in our decadent function suites to perfectly compliment your event. The Grand’s impressive history coupled with its luxurious reputation makes it an ideal location for meeting rooms in York. The perfect venue for special occasions or your next conference or event. Allow our team to create you a bespoke package which can include anything from cookery classes to afternoon tea, dinner at The Rise and even spa treatments.
