Step back in time for a unique dining experience in our recreated Victorian street 

York Castle Museum

York Castle Museum’s recreated Victorian Street, Kirkgate, is our most famous attraction and never fails to delight, with its cobbled street and genuine shop windows packed with everyday goods from the past.

We can host seated banquets for up to 80 guests in the Victorian Street – the tables are arranged on the street and guests can savour the atmosphere whilst they dine.

It is also possible to hire the Museum for much larger buffet and drinks receptions, with a maximum capacity of 300 guests. Please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss your requirements in greater detail and we will be delighted to help you plan your event.

Gallery tours of the area of the Museum you have hired are included in the hire price; evening entertainment, such as a jazz band or string quartet, can also be arranged at an additional charge.

York Castle Museum's designated caterer is Milburns.
