THE BARN ON THE BAY 01670 458 118 | www.barnonthebay.com Located in Northumberland overlooking the beautiful Druridge Bay, The Barn on The Bay is a farm venue with stunning wedding spaces. Couples have the option of three ceremony areas including the beachside location situated in the dunes and overlooking the sea, the paddock or The Cowshed wedding barn that can also be used as a reception space. Guests are always surprised when they enter what looks like a farm building to find a wedding area enhanced by chandeliers, festoon lighting, rustic furniture and agricultural accents like the milk churns and tractor seat stools. The space carries on around to the newly reimagined bar area with leather seating and reclaimed furniture leading to a vintage horse box cocktail bar. The barn is ideal for large receptions with 200 people, and there’s room for additional evening guests, while the smaller Stone Barn is perfect for intimate celebrations. The gated paddock area outside the barn is perfect for lawn games and drinks receptions and guests can meet the on-site alpacas. Couples won’t have to worry about guests travelling home as the venue has multiple accommodation available including a converted cartshed bunkbarn, glamping pods and a beachside campsite. All couples are invited to drink nights to get to know the venue in the run-up to their wedding day. Every year there’s a tree planting ceremony where couples can mark their time on the farm by planting a tree in the Wedding Woodland. www.carnpatrick.com www.forgetmeknotimages.co.uk www.forgetmeknotimages.co.uk www.carnpatrick.com WATERSIDE AND COASTAL 21
