For the first 200 years, the Courtyard was known by another name, The Stables, and used as it's name suggests. This was a place for horses, grooms, coachmen and carriages.
Now it is home to Harewood’s Summer BBQ package, the Courtyard can hold up to 150 guests and is ideal for summer parties.
Guests will be greeted under the impressive colonnades with plenty of space for a DJ, bar and catering of your choice, from delicious bowl food to sizzling BBQs.
