Hallington Mill

Hallington Mill
Set in the heart of the beautiful Northumbrian countryside, Hallington Mill is a rural retreat with real personality and warmth. Located close to Matfen and Corbridge, easily accessed yet tucked away off the beaten track, it is nestled in a secluded valley and surrounded by acres of private woodland, streams and open countryside. A hidden gem, which offers something unique with a very intimate feel.
As the proud owners, Elizabeth & Rob, we fell in love with Hallington Mill in 2016 and took on the rejuvenation of the estate as a real-life family adventure, a true labour of love. Offering you the warmest of welcomes, our approach is down-to-earth and genuine. Weddings here are an invitation to join this adventure and make it part of your own story.
At the heart of the estate, the historic Mill and Threshing Barn have been lovingly restored and blend luxury, design and historic features with a relaxing pragmatism. Providing spacious accommodation for up to 18 adults plus children, they feature two large Bridal Suite options and plenty of space to prepare for your big day. There are also several entertaining spaces, a huge country farmhouse kitchen, cinema room and a dining room which seats 20 - perfect for intimate weddings, pre-wedding dinners and post-wedding breakfasts!
The Mill and Barn are available for small intimate weddings of up to 20 guests throughout the year. For larger groups 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 for up to 120 guests. We are fully licenced and also welcome celebrant lead ceremonies.
With either option you can hold your ceremony in various places on the grounds & woodland allowing you to create your own, intimate wedding experience.
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.
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.
Your wedding and memories of its setting will be part of your life’s journey and add to your own adventure. We would love to welcome you here for a visit with Rob or I, hopefully you will fall in love with Hallington Mill, just as we have.
