Tucked away in the breathtaking County Durham countryside, the Black Horse Beamish offers a truly unforgettable setting for your dream wedding. Whether you're planning a lavish celebration or an intimate gathering, our two unique venues provide the perfect backdrop for every kind of love story.

Beyond the venues themselves, the Black Horse Beamish estate offers

a storybook setting for your entire day. Wander through blooming lavender fields, pose beside antique countryside treasures, and take in sweeping views that change beautifully with the seasons. Whether it’s for wedding portraits or peaceful moments between celebrations, the estate becomes part of your love story — a backdrop as timeless as your vows.
