Ellingham Hall Wedding
“We fell in love with Ellingham Hall as soon as we visited. Kelly came away crying and knew it was ‘the one’.
We wanted a venue that had exclusive 2 day hire and wasn’t like a conveyerbelt of weddings, so we could make the most out of our wedding weekend (a day just wasn’t enough haha!) Also our venue had to be dog friendly to accommodate our furbaby, Snowy.“

Ellingham Hall is a country house based in Northumberland. There are historical records of a building on the land, but Ellingham Hall as it is today was built in the 19th century and stands upon eight acres.
After being a school, the hall was closed in 1984 when plans fell through to turn it into 8 flats. It was then left to vandalism, theft and open to the elements for many years until 1995. This is when its current owners purchased the property and spent ten years redeveloping it into the amazing venue that it is today.
