Yorkshire Ladies Links Charity Lunch at the Priory
Yorkshire Ladies Links is delighted to welcome you to a truly special and intimate afternoon, celebrating connection, conversation, and giving back. This event marks a meaningful return to our roots, set within the beautiful Priory Barn & Cottages, nestled in the Yorkshire countryside near Wetherby.
This lunch reflects the heart of Yorkshire Ladies Links: collaboration, community, and trusted partnerships, bringing together exceptional women, inspiring speakers, and a cause that truly matters.
DATE: Thursday, 26th March, 2026
Venue: Priory Barn & Cottages
Featherbed Lane, Wighill Park
North Yorkshire, LS24 8BL
The Priory offers a timeless and elegant setting, combining character with refinement. Guests will enjoy drinks and canapés on arrival, before moving upstairs to the barn for a private two course lunch, creating a relaxed yet luxurious atmosphere designed for meaningful connection.
Please note that the lunch will be served upstairs in the barn, which is accessed via stairs. If you have any access requirements or questions, we warmly encourage you to get in touch with the Yorkshire Ladies Links team prior to booking, and we will be happy to discuss this with you.
A Celebration of Long Standing Partnerships
This event is particularly special as it celebrates collaborations that date back to the very foundations of Yorkshire Ladies Links.
We are proud to return to Priory Barn, a venue where we previously hosted a successful series of ladies lunches over a decade ago, in collaboration with Taste Cuisine Yorkshire. Their food was outstanding then, just as it is today, and their exceptional service is the reason our relationship has endured.
Taste Cuisine Yorkshire has been setting standards in premium catering across Yorkshire and the UK for more than thirty years. Their commitment to quality, attention to detail, and seamless service perfectly reflects the values of Yorkshire Ladies Links.
We are delighted to welcome Taste Cuisine Yorkshire as our headline sponsors and to once again work together to deliver an experience defined by elegance, quality, and trust. To learn more about Taste Cuisine Yorkshire, visit

Supporting a Life Saving Cause
At the heart of this event is a powerful mission to save lives and raise awareness of sudden cardiac arrest. The Danny Jones Defibrillator Fund was set up by Yorkshire Ladies Links member, Lizzie Jones MBE, after the sudden passing of her husband, Danny. The fund installs life‑saving defibrillators in communities, workplaces, and public spaces across Yorkshire, and also runs cardiac screening programmes to help identify people at risk before tragedy strikes.
We are proud to continue supporting Lizzie and her mission, and we look forward to dedicating this special lunch to a cause that is close to our hearts. Lizzie’s story is one of courage, determination, and kindness, and we are delighted to welcome her back to share her journey with honesty, strength, and compassion.
All proceeds from this event will go directly to The Danny Jones Defibrillator Fund, helping to fund both defibrillator placements and life‑saving cardiac screening initiatives.
To get involved, follow The Danny Jones Defibrillator Fund on social media or message us to be introduced to Lizzie and this worthy cause.
