Vallum is unlike any other wedding venue in Northumberland, offering the relaxed, romantic feel of a country wedding with the convenience and cost-effectiveness of a permanent, well-established venue in breathtaking Hadrian’s Wall country just eight miles west of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. One of the many things which sets us apart from other venues is our flexibility. You might want to go all-out uber glam, rustic country, or kitchen garden cute or you may opt for a stunning fine dining feast, a beautifully bespoke buffet, or enjoy a laid-back barbecue. Because we have our own team of chefs we enjoy tailoring the menus to suit your style. Smaller weddings are beautifully suited to our lovely Tipi, while bigger events from 40-160 are hosted in our large converted barn – a permanent ivory lined billowing space with glass windows all down one side to make the most of our deck, lawn and beautiful country views, we even have a lake for that romantic water photograph. All our celebrations are catered for by us in our state of the art kitchens. Our passion is food. Whatever you have in mind for your wedding day, we can work with you to perfect your menu and show off our skills. Some couples have gone for bangers and mash, others have chosen Persian banquets. Over the years we have won many Taste Awards for our home baking so if Afternoon Tea is your vision, you are in the best hands! Couples who choose Vallum are looking for a less formal vibe with great service. Couples love our hands on approach and how we welcome you into our family when you make us your wedding home. We are great at organising and every step of the way is clearly documented so that on the day our team all know exactly what is going on at any minute of the day, so you don't even need to think about it. Weddings here are incredibly special and absolutely personal to you. We look forward to planning it with you!
Our daughter Poppy and her long term boyfriend Chris. Just an amazing beautiful day and so good to be a guest!
Talk to the venues, they have seen a lot of weddings and they will have an idea of what works best. Get tips from all your suppliers and make them do the work! Thats what we are here for.

Informal. Friendly. Adaptable. Generous. Beautiful.
Tricky one .. the avenue of trees is amazing but then theres the lake .... !
We helped Denise Welch organise her Father's 80th birthday at Vallum .. that was some party!
The new hot smoked salmon tortilla we are making in the kitchen are just mouth-wateringly delicious, but then so is the flat iron steak canape with charred aubergine ..
Pulled pork bun with slaw and pickles
Our converted barn has been interior designed to feel quirky and cool. The glass frontage which looks out over our marquee lawn and kitchen garden is just stunning as its 24m long!
The staff. They are just amazing. What a team.
