We were delighted to receive this message from Amy:
“York House is a wonderful location for your special family celebrations. We held our intimate wedding reception with our family in August, and having our own private space and large garden to celebrate in made all the difference! This is our second time renting this lovely venue and I’m sure we will want to enjoy it again in the future.” Amy
Our lovely Main Hall ha some daytime vacancies. Have you been thinking about starting a yoga club? Dance class? Arts group? Maybe a baby group? Now’s your chance! Space at York House is becoming less and less available so move fast! #YourYorkHouse #NewVenture

Not everyone knows that York House Centre is owned by the community of Stony Stratford – YOU!
It’s a registered charity, a business registered with Companies House, and it is run by a volunteer management committee, and its main role is to hire out space for a great variety of community, arts, self-help, small commercial, private party, and charity groups and individuals.
Many of the activities in York House depend on volunteers, eg for the community larder/warm space, gardening and horticultural, stewarding town events such as Christmas Lanterns and Arts4All, and helping with coffee mornings or bar work for our many music and arts events.
Could YOU spare a few hours regularly or occasionally during the year? We’d love to hear from you. Contact us by email at info@york-house.org.uk or phone 01908 561075 to find out more.
