NORTHSIDE FARM

07901 119 327 | www.northsidefarm.co.uk

Nestled in the heart of the Northumbrian countryside, Northside Farm offers exclusive use for up to three nights to give couples a relaxed experience and more time to spend with friends and family.

Ceremonies can occur outside on the lawn, inside the barn or in the newly converted gin gang room, while receptions take place in the barn with a capacity for 150 seated guests. There’s even room outside for marquees if desired and the venue has a ‘no restriction’ policy (as long as it is legal) for activities such as fireworks.

Outside, guests can find manicured lawns where drink receptions or garden games take place in the summer and a part-covered comfortable courtyard at the rear with a firepit for toasting marshmallows or having a barbecue buffet. Keep little ones entertained in the children’s park, which features a zip wire and fun activities.

The timber glamping pods (sleeps up to five) and the new edition of the four fairytale cottages (each sleep two) offers that little bit of extra magic – the perfect way to end the day.
