Which caving huts in Yorkshire have large rooms or extra floor space where one could run a workshop?
(Other than YSS)

Looking to run a first aid course and have overnight accommodation and catering facilities etc

How about Mealbank Scout Hut in Ingleton? Its got no beds, but they allow you sleep on the floor - plus its got a kitchen. The CNCC have used it for survey training in the past. Only downside is that alcohol is banned from the premises.

Alternatively, I've used the guests lounge at the Farm for training events for the CDG in the past.

Not far south of Clapham, the Yorkshire Ramblers hut "Lowstern". It has a very spacious lounge. IIRC.

Bull Pot farm has a pretty reasonable sized guest lounge, though 14 people doing CPR practice or the likes all a once might be a squeeze.

Could always support the local villages and find a village hall? Not exactly close to caving but I am sure there is always a sign in Melling (near Hornby) advertising their village hall when I drive past.

Another possibility: The old school in Horton-in-Ribblesdale has rooms of various sizes up to 105 sq m available for hire.

Accommodation could then be at either the BPC or CPC huts.

Austwick village hall has plenty of space, all the facilities, showers and toilets etc. They do allow overnight stays. https://www.austwick.org/parish-hall-information/

If you book Greenclose (the NPC) the just down the road is Clapham Village Hall, which has excellent facilities (including a kitchen) and is cheap to hire. (The NPC often has its AGMs there.)

I'll second that one, we kipped on the floor and went to the pub for evening meal/drinks. but the building itself is well equipped, and you shouldn't have much trouble with the neighbours.

for future reference, the Dalesbridge have a conference room which can be used for events. Obviously they've also got accommodation (and a bar).
