Meeting room hire in Thirsk
A private room on Thirsk market square with its own entrance, its own toilet, a breakout room next door and an interactive whiteboard on the wall. Hire it by the morning, the afternoon or the day.
Up to 20 people, free WiFi, layout set however you want it, and a kitchen underneath that can feed the room at one o'clock.

Prices
Three slots, quoted with the food
The room and the food are quoted together. Pick a slot, then tell us how many of you there are and what you would like to eat.
| Slot | Times | Length | Suits | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Morning | 8:30am to 11:30am | 3 hours | Board meetings, interviews, a training session that finishes at lunch | Ask us |
| Afternoon | 12pm to 4pm | 4 hours | Client workshops, committee meetings, appraisals | Ask us |
| Full day | 8:30am to 4pm | 7.5 hours | Away days, training courses, interview panels working through a shortlist | Ask us |
Ring us for a price. What it costs depends on what you need the room for and what food goes with it. On Wednesdays and Thursdays the same room runs as free co-working, so tell us early if you want it to yourself on one of those days.
What you get
Two rooms, a whiteboard and nobody walking through
The main room takes the meeting. The breakout room takes the candidate waiting to be interviewed and the call that could not be moved. Having both is what makes a long day workable.
The interactive whiteboard is fitted in the main room. WiFi is free. The room has its own entrance off the street and its own toilet, so an 8:30 start does not depend on the cafe being open yet.
Layouts we set
- Boardroom, one table with everyone round it
- Rows facing the whiteboard, for training
- Cabaret, small tables for group work
- U-shape, for a facilitated session
- Main room and breakout room split, for interviews and panels
- Cleared, with chairs round the edge
How many people a given layout seats depends on the shape, so tell us the format and the numbers together and we will say straight away whether it works.
What it is used for
Meetings, training, interviews, away days
Board and committee meetings
One long table, papers spread out, tea topped up at the table. Parish councils, charity trustees and partnership meetings all use rooms like this.
Training and workshops
The interactive whiteboard is in the main room, the chairs go into rows or cabaret groups, and lunch comes up the stairs to you.
Interviews
Two rooms is the reason this works for a panel. Candidates wait in the breakout room and the panel sits in the main room, so the two only meet when you call them through.
Away days and planning days
Book the room for a full day and a small team can get out of the office, have a proper conversation and be back on the A19 by half four.
Client meetings on neutral ground
Solicitors, accountants, estate agents and financial advisers who need somewhere private in town with a door that shuts.
Appraisals and one-to-ones
A half day and a door that shuts, for the conversations that need to happen out of earshot of the rest of the team.
Why here
A room on the market square
The food comes up from the kitchen underneath you, and when a session stalls people can step out of the room's own door onto the market square.
Thirsk sits a couple of minutes off the A19 and about ten from the A1(M).
Parking
- Market Place, first hour free, then pay and display. on our doorstep.

Questions people ask
Meeting room hire, answered
- How much is meeting room hire in Thirsk?
- Ring us for a price. What it costs depends on what you need the room for and what food goes with it. The slots are a morning (8:30am to 11:30am), an afternoon (12pm to 4pm) or a full day (8:30am to 4pm), with the food quoted alongside the room.
- How many people does the meeting room hold?
- Up to 20 across the main room and the breakout room. How many a particular layout takes depends on the shape you want, so tell us the format and we will tell you if it works.
- Is there a whiteboard or a projector?
- There is an interactive whiteboard in the main room. If you need anything else for presenting, ask us before you book so we can tell you what we have.
- Can we get lunch for the group?
- Yes. Everything comes up from the cafe kitchen underneath the room: breakfast on arrival, sandwiches and soup, buffets, cake, and afternoon tea if you want to finish well. Send numbers and dietary needs when you book.
- Is the room private?
- Completely. It has its own entrance from the street and its own toilet, so your meeting comes in off the street and stays put, and the cafe traffic stays downstairs.
- Can you set the room out how we want it?
- Yes. Boardroom, rows, cabaret, U-shape or split across the two rooms. Say which when you book and it will be ready before you arrive.
- Is there parking?
- The Market Place is on the doorstep with the first hour free, and Marage Road and Millgate are three or four minutes away, both pay and display. Monday and Saturday are market days, so the square fills early.
- How do I book the meeting room?
- Ring 01845 523869 with your date and we will check it while you are on the phone. You can also email rosa@teatimeyorkshire.co.uk or use the contact form.
- Can we hire the room in the evening or at a weekend?
- Ring 01845 523869 and ask. The published slots run from 8:30am to 4pm, and for anything outside them we will tell you what is possible rather than promise it on a web page.
- Is the meeting room accessible?
- The room is upstairs and step-free access is not confirmed, so we will not claim it. Ring 01845 523869 before you book if anyone attending needs step-free access and we will describe the way in honestly.
Back to the room and what else it does, or see free co-working and parties and wakes.
