Your North East Wedding - July/August 2022 (Issue 51)

NORTHSIDE FARM 07904 119327 | www.northsidefarm.co.uk Northside Farm is an exclusive use venue nestled in the heart of the Northumbrian countryside. Comprising a converted barn and a gin gang ceremony room, it’s surrounded by 70 acres of land, lakes and woodland. The luxurious glamping site boasts 10 timber glamping pods, each with a firepit; four whimsical fairytale style cottages – all with fully functioning luxury amenities – and space for additional tent or wigwam pitches. Ceremonies for up to 150 can take place outside on the lawn, inside the barn or in the circular gin gang. The barn has a fully licensed wooden bar area adjoining to the floor-to-ceiling glass fronted main reception room, with flagstone flooring, exposed beams and brick walls. The circular gin gang, meanwhile, is a rustic and picturesque ceremony room with adjoining bridal dressing room. Outside the front of the barn and gin gang are manicured lawns used for drinks’ receptions in the summer, and a part-covered comfortable courtyard at the rear with stunning open fireplace, firepit for toasting marshmallows or for enjoying a BBQ buffet. After your reception – catered for up to 200 guests in the evening – it’s time to head back to the glamping site or luxury cottages situated just across the driveway. THE CRUCK MARQUEE AT THE HAMMER AND PINCERS 07984 930784 | www.thehammers.co The Cruck Marquee at the Hammer and Pincers is a stunning new addition to this established country wedding venue. Replacing the venue’s three ageing tipis, used to host weddings over the past six years, the shape of the marquee and the clear sides give increased useable floor space and more light, all the while retaining that wow factor. The original design of the marquee is based on the Medieval cruck barn, with the space easily able to be divided up, to provide relaxing lounge areas for smaller groups. Occupying a permanent position in the large, enclosed garden at the rear of the Hammer and Pincers, with its indoor and outdoor bars, patios and seating areas, outdoor fire pit and toilet facilities, all bases are covered. Wedding ceremonies for up to 160 are weather-dependent, meaning they can take place on the lawn, in the Wedding Hut or inside The Cruck Marquee itself. The space is ideal for those who want to get creative with décor, or if you prefer something simpler the setting itself will do the work for you! https://emilyhannah.com www.2tonephotography.co.uk 22
