About

East Riddlesden Hall is a magnificent 17th‑century manor house perched on a small plateau overlooking the River Aire in Keighley, West Yorkshire. Steeped in history, the house showcases original stonework, a great barn, and a collection of period furnishings that bring to life the life of a prosperous cloth merchant’s family. Guided tours run throughout the year, offering visitors a narrative of the Hall’s rich past while highlighting its architectural features. The Hall’s gardens are a tranquil haven, featuring formal flower beds in spring, lush cottage‑style flowers in summer, and ripening fruit trees in autumn. In addition to the gardens, visitors can explore the Mud‑Pie Kitchen – a playful space that delights children and adults alike – and the Airedale Barn, an elegant venue for functions. A second‑hand bookshop, tearoom, and shop add a touch of charm, making East Riddlesden Hall a perfect day out for families, history enthusiasts, and garden lovers alike. Dogs on lead are welcome in the gardens, offering a pet‑friendly outing for visitors with their four‑legged companions.
