Our kind of weddings...
Not a traditional venue as such, we only host a small number of weddings each year, in part to respect the beauty and tranquillity of the site but also to balance the environmental impact. Our approach is deliberately low-key and we cater for those with an independent flair who seek a more relaxed occasion. We feel weddings should be savoured and never rushed so our focus is on bringing people together in a place which helps you to slow down, remember what’s important and create precious new memories together.
Smaller Weddings
The Mill and Barn are perfect for intimate weddings of up to 20 guests. Ceremonies and receptions can be held in the gardens or Mill Room, offering a very relaxed yet timeless backdrop to your day.
Larger Weddings
For weddings of 30 up to 120 people we have the Hay Shed, once the rustic backdrop to our very first wedding. This characterful building has been lovingly converted and blends its industrial heritage with touches of elegance, providing a unique space in which you can tailor and host your wedding.
With either option you can hold your ceremony in various places on the grounds & woodland, allowing you to create your own intimate wedding experience. The Mill dining room is also perfect for pre-wedding dinners with loved ones and post-wedding breakfasts!
As one of only a few dry-hire venues in Northumberland, we try to balance the freedom for you to be as creative as you want, alongside taking the stress out of it all. We take a simple and transparent approach to pricing; a set price for the accommodation plus an event fee which covers the dry-hire of our Hay Shed and use of grounds. No packages or timetables so you can be creative & flexible.
You are then free to source from a variety of trusted suppliers for catering, drinks, furnishings, flowers, entertainment, etc so you can structure your wedding in a way that is personal and meaningful to you. We only recommend those suppliers with whom we have directly experienced their commitment to great customer service and professionalism. If none of these suits your taste then we are happy to welcome new ones or let you take a more DIY approach.
