Ellingham Hall in Northumberland has been named the best historic wedding venue in the North East and Yorkshire.

The hall was presented with the accolade at The Wedding Industry Awards (TWIA) ceremony at the South Causey Inn, County Durham.

Its team will now compete in the national awards, which will be held in Liverpool in January.

It is an impressive feat for the wedding venue – its events team was previously crowned Regional Winner for Events Team of the Year for three consecutive years and National Winner in 2024.

General manager Matt Collins said he was thrilled that Ellingham Hall had been recognised once again at the awards.

“We were up against some tough competition, so to be named the best historic wedding venue in the North East and Yorkshire is a testament to our whole team,” he added.

“While the hall itself is stunning and set in beautiful grounds, it’s only part of the story. It’s the people who make the wedding celebrations unforgettable that are crucial to what Ellingham Hall stands for.”

Having led the team for 18 years, group director Anthony Hunter said: “The Ellingham Hall team never fails to go the extra mile, which is why they’ve achieved success at TWIA over several years now.

“The latest award shows what happens when an impressive venue steeped in history is coupled with a fantastic team of dedicated people.

“The feedback and volume of votes from our couples makes me proud of everyone at Ellingham Hall and the hard work that goes into each wedding.”
