Manor House · Seaton Burn, Tyne and Wear
Shotton Grange
Georgian manor and coach house at Seaton Burn, north of Newcastle, with gardens and 11 bedrooms.
Shotton Grange is a Georgian manor house and coach house at Seaton Burn, just north of Newcastle, set in about six acres of walled and landscaped gardens. It is run as an exclusive-use wedding venue, with in-house catering, outdoor ceremonies and 11 bedrooms for you and your closest guests.
Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples
With exclusive use, the house, the grounds and the bedrooms are yours for the wedding, so the day runs at your pace and with your people only. An in-house coordinator and catering team keep the planning in one place. GLW recommends it for couples who want a country house setting with privacy, and the option to stay over with friends and family.
Ceremonies
The venue holds a wedding licence and offers outdoor ceremonies in the grounds, with the long lawn and walled garden as a backdrop. Confetti is welcome, which makes for good photographs as you leave the ceremony. Indoor rooms in the manor and coach house give you a fallback when the weather turns.
Receptions and food
The house seats around 110 for a wedding breakfast and takes up to 200 for an evening reception. Catering is in-house, with a wine list and a licensed bar. Packages are built for a minimum of 40 guests and include accommodation for you and some of your guests. The gardens offer space for drinks receptions outside in warmer months.
Staying
There are 11 bedrooms, sleeping up to 22, including a bridal suite and a honeymoon suite. That lets your wedding party get ready on site and keeps close family under the same roof after the evening ends.
Getting there and the area
Shotton Grange is on the Great North Road near junction 80 of the A1, a short drive from Newcastle Airport and around 20 minutes from Newcastle city centre and Central Station. There is parking on site and disabled access. Ponteland, Cramlington and the Northumberland countryside are close by, and the Northumberland coast is within easy reach for a day out after the wedding.
