Although I live in Dewsbury and walk past the Minster on a regular basis it had been 50 years since I had stepped inside the church where I was christened in and my last visit was with school many many Christmas’s ago. And was shocked to find how much unlike the the church I remember it has become, the actual service area is tiny and only occupies about a third of the church. The rest now being about the history of the parish church and how it achieved Minster status. And also one of the wings is now occupied by a lovely cafe with a nice choice of food, coffee and tea and nice and warm. It’s nice to see how the “Minster” famous for its unique “devils knell” which rings out at Xmas as adapted to the modern world. A nice visit.

Very delayed in posting this review however I have only just noticed it’s on Tripadvisor. Me and my husband had our wedding reception here in June 2015, we hired the woodkirk room and senior suite and it was absolutely fantastic! I know most couples would say this about their wedding day but it really was brilliant! Staff were lovely and could not do enough for you. The booking of the room with the wedding coordinator was easy and it was so reasonable in price! Would definitely return here in the future. Thank you!
