Fairfax House is perhaps the finest 18th century house in the North of England. It was designed by John Carr of York, and typifies the best of mid-18th-century rococo decoration. Sadly, successive owners had allowed the house to decay to a state of near collapse by the early 1980s, when it was acquired by York Civic Trust with a grant from the National Heritage Memorial Fund. Further grants enabled the Trust to restore the house to its former glory, and in October 1984 it was opened by the Duchess of Kent.
The trustees are pleased to offer small groups the opportunity to use the house in the evening however, for special tours and as the setting for banquets. With its wonderful stucco ceiling and superb Chippendale furniture, the dining room is a unique setting for entertaining corporate and personal guests in lavish style.
A maximum of twelve guests is suggested, although up to twenty-four may be accommodated if necessary. Food and wine to suit the particular requirements of your group can be selected from an exclusive menu and wine list.
