About Kirkley Hall
Kirkley Hall is a Grade II listed 17th-century country house set in beautiful grounds a short drive from Ponteland, and it has become one of the North East's most romantic wedding venues. Several elegant function rooms look out over its Italianate patio and gardens, giving couples a flexible choice of spaces for ceremonies, receptions and celebrations of different sizes, with the parkland setting making a memorable backdrop for photographs.
Set within the wider 400-acre Kirkley Hall estate near Ponteland, it combines period character with a genuinely rural feel while staying close to Newcastle and the airport for guests. As a sought-after venue, prime dates book up well ahead, so early enquiry is advised.
