Weddings at The Old Bridge Inn

Celebrate your day in a place with a story

Wedding guests gathered outside The Old Bridge Inn in Ripponden — Weddings at The Old Bridge Inn

Made around your plans

A relaxed place to begin the celebrations

Whether you are gathering before the ceremony or carrying the celebrations on afterwards, we can help you create a warm and memorable part of the day. Our team will work with you to shape the details around your plans.

With the river Ryburn, the old bridge, and the village streets close by, there are plenty of picturesque places for photographs. There is also nearby accommodation for guests who would like to stay close to the celebrations.

Drinks before or after Choose from our drinks packages to welcome guests before the ceremony or toast the newlyweds afterwards.
Canapés and light bites Keep everyone happily refreshed with food served alongside drinks before your wedding breakfast at your chosen venue.
Space to arrive easily Our private car park opposite the church can make arriving simpler for guests who are less familiar with the village.

St Bartholomew's Church in Ripponden, just across the bridge from The Old Bridge Inn — St Bartholomew’s Church, Ripponden

Just over the bridge

A beautiful village church, moments from the inn

St Bartholomew’s Church sits just across the old bridge, making The Old Bridge Inn a natural place to gather before or after your ceremony. Its spacious interior welcomes family and friends, while the church grounds and surrounding Ripponden countryside offer a lovely backdrop for photographs.

Wedding arrangements are made directly with the church. Visit St Bartholomew’s website for ceremony information and details of how to enquire.

Good to know

An intimate setting for a meaningful moment

Because we are a small village inn, we do not offer a full sit-down wedding breakfast. That is part of what makes us well suited to the moments around it: a welcoming drink, something delicious to eat, and time together in one of Yorkshire’s oldest pubs.
