The George Ridley Room
As a unique venue with extensive grounds and an open mind, Black Horse Beamish provides and unforgettable setting for all styles of wedding celebrations.
Beautifully restored, our 300-year-old building retains much of its original charm. You are welcomed by flag stone floors, open fires and an eclectic mix of furnishings. With panoramic views over our peaceful valley, the setting could hardly be more idyllic.
The George Ridley is a magnificent room complemented by original stone walls, two open fires, high ceilings and bare oak beams which enhance the grandeur of the setting. Attached to the Gallery bar and heated outdoor Terrace with panoramic views of the rolling countryside.
All of our function rooms are licensed for a civil ceremony allowing you to move seamlessly from ceremony to reception. These rooms can be further dressed with wedding flowers and finishing touches to create a lovely backdrop for your ceremony.
Photo opportunities here are in abundance with our stunning countryside views, private gardens and elegant interior. Your guests will be treated to a wedding breakfast, which is second to none and your special day will provide all invited with lifelong memories, of a truly stylish wedding.
You'll see a sneak peek of the estate in our brochure but nothing beats visiting our remarkable George Ridley venue, seeing the breathtaking views of the surrounding County Durham counrtyside for yourself.
Our doors may be closed but our grounds remain open and we welcome you to utilise one of the public footpaths running through the acres of stunning countryside we have. Take a walk around our beautiful and secluded Orchard Marquee and soak in the stunning views. Although viewings are not permitted inside the marquee, our beautiful venue is visible from the outside through our full panel glass frontage.
We plan to offer 'contactless' venue viewings from 29th March - this means that no staff are present to show you around inside the venue but you can take a wander at your own leisure. We know you must have lots of questions at this exciting time and we’d be delighted to answer them for you by phone call or email. Check our next availabile contactless viewing appointment and book instantly here.
