LAMBTON CASTLE 0191 385 2435 | www.lambtonpark.com We love a blank canvas venue at Your North East Wedding – and Lambton Castle; just 20 minutes from Sunderland; is up there on our ‘wow’ list! Built of sandstone, with castellations, towers, finials and Gothic arches, the castle is nothing short of a fairy-tale dream! Outside, there’s five acres of lawns and mature trees with a panoramic view over the River Wear to enjoy as newlyweds. Inside, expect nothing less than pure, unadulterated grandeur, with four reception rooms which can be configured for any purpose, be it ceremony, reception or dancing. Wed in the Castle Portico (50 guests), Entrance Hall (35 guests), Main Hall (120 guests) or Panel Room (80 guests), before again hosting your reception and evening celebration in any of the above spaces.
