Doxford Barns is a family-run barn venue on a 550-acre working estate near Alnwick on the Northumberland coast. An 18th-century Threshing Hall hosts the ceremony, the Great Barn seats up to 160 for the wedding breakfast, and cottages on site sleep your guests.
Doxford Barns opened in 2015 on a working farm near Alnwick, a short way from the Northumberland coast, and the family still runs it. Weddings are built around your ideas, from a single day to a three-day weekend, and the estate stays exclusively yours throughout.
The ceremony takes place in the Threshing Hall, an 18th-century stone and oak barn. The bride can get ready in the Coop next door and walk down a staircase to the aisle without stepping outside. Outdoor ceremonies work in the courtyard, and up to 160 guests can attend. The Great Barn holds the wedding breakfast for up to 160 guests, with round or trestle tables, and takes 250 for the evening party. Drinks are served in the courtyard and cart shed bar, and a food tasting is included in the booking.
