Nestled in wooded parkland on Darlington’s outskirts, The Blackwell Grange Hotel is a stunning 17th-century mansion surrounded by beautiful countryside. Guests will arrive at the top of a sweeping driveway and their first impressions will be of the beautiful lawned gardens. The hotel is like no other venue and has benefitted from an extensive refurbishment of public areas, giving the spaces a contemporary and sophisticated feel. Couples can choose to be married in one of three locations at the hotel; The Gazebo is the perfect fairytale backdrop for the “I dos” and is set in
the lawned gardens, while The Bruhenny Suite is a light and airy room for 120 people with a feature fireplace and staircase. If couples desires a more intimate ceremony, The George Allan Suite can fit 70 loved ones and features traditional décor and amazing views of the grounds. Both of these suites can also be transformed for receptions. Newlyweds can retire to a completely refurbished Bridal Suite in the evening, which is the ideal place to end the celebrations.
