The Barn on The Bay

The Barn on the Bay sits right on the Northumberland coast, where you can make the most of both the beach and the farm. It’s a rare setup. One mile of private dunes and a sweeping view across Druridge Bay.

There’s something pretty special about arriving at your ceremony on a vintage tractor or walking the winding path through the sand. Either way, you’ll reach a quiet spot by the sea that takes your breath a little. Later on, guests gather back at the farm for drinks on the verandah, while the rest of the evening unfolds just a few steps away in the barn.

Ceremonies take place right by the sea, tucked away in the venue’s own stretch of dunes. It’s peaceful, private, and set against the backdrop of the sound of waves. Whether you walk or take the tractor ride, the arrival alone feels like part of the experience.

Once the vows are done, it’s time to head back to the farm for drinks on the verandah, served from a vintage horse box bar. The evening continues in the Cowshed Wedding Barn, not your average barn, mind you. It’s been carefully designed with soft, neutral décor so that you can add your own style to it.

Everything happens under one roof, which means no need to shuffle between rooms. There’s space to sit back with a drink, enjoy dinner, and hit the dancefloor. You’ll find:

• A main bar, fully stocked
• A second horse box cocktail bar
• Cosy leather chairs and sofas
• An indoor fire table for later in the night

When the party winds down, guests don’t have far to go. There are comfy, adult-sized bunks in Calico Barn for groups, camping and glamping among the dunes, or Poppy Cottage, a quiet spot just a short stroll away, usually where the couple stay.

The Barn offers two options for catering:

• A sit-down family-style menu, put together by a local chef
• An American-style smoked BBQ, cooked low and slow

Both focus on good food done properly. Local ingredients, high quality, and full of flavour.

Food is sourced with care, prioritising local, ethical, and seasonal options wherever possible. On-site accommodation helps reduce travel, as guests can stay just minutes from the barn.

The town of Amble is only a few miles away and offers additional accommodation options if needed. For those travelling by train, Morpeth station is around twenty minutes away by car. If you or your guests need help planning, the team are always happy to point you in the right direction.
