About The Workshop & Loft
In the Autumn of 2014, the previous owner renovated the first and second floor of the building. All the original floorboards were sanded and stripped and some of the authentic Victorian features were revealed and restored. The building quickly become a quirky and one-of-a-kind venue, hosting a variety of workshops, events and parties. Soon the space grew to attract couples as an intimate and completely different wedding venue.
When the previous owner decided to have a change of career, we jumped at the chance to take on this hidden gem in our hometown and try something completely new and challenging for both of us.
With a background in education and admin, but a strong drive to learn and achieve something of our own to be proud of, my sister and I decided to take on this new adventure as a partnership.
We both have a lot of ties to the area, having lived in Mirfield for over 10 years and a lot of support from local family and friends.
We have made a few changes so far and will continue to do so over the coming years, but the heart of the venue remains the same. It is a beautiful, rustic setting, that now has two floors of fully functioning bar areas and comfortable seating and relaxing options.
We offer regular opening hours to the public and a space to hire for your special events, including parties, baby showers and weddings as just a few examples.
We may not look much from the outside but its what’s inside that counts and we’ve created a cozy atmosphere to indulge in making time for friends and family.
Stripped-back yet full of character, it is the perfect place for couples looking for an “un-weddingy” wedding venue or a relaxing glass of wine after a hard day. .
Really, you won’t want to leave!

First Floor
The Parlour & The Lounge
High ceilings, stripped floor boards, whitewashed walls and warm natural light through the day, The Workshop is a beautiful honest room. Mismatched wooden chairs add to the rustic vibe while flashes of vintage velvet add a touch of glamour.
Gather up to 50 of your friends and family ones and say your vows in front of the feature mantel, which can be customised to your taste. Or have a drink and enjoy some live music in this fabulous, bright and airy space.
The atmosphere is incredible when this intimate area is full of love. For parties and evening reception we create small clusters of hard and soft seating, providing the perfect environment to sit with a drink, chat and listen to the music. When the sun goes down, we light candles and the Parlour takes on an enchanting ambience.
The lounge is elegant and whimsical and has the feel of a gents club. It’s perfect for post-ceremony drinks and offers a quiet place to sit and chat away from the hubbub.
Second Floor
The Loft
The Loft offers beautiful views over Mirfield. It has exposed brick walls, painted floorboards and a rustic bar that is stocked with carefully curated wines, spirits and cocktails.
Natural light floods in through the day and in the evening we turn on the lamps, light the candles to create a cocooning, relaxed environment.
50 people can enjoy seated dining, and we can accommodate 100 people for a casual dining reception and/or evening party
