About
Setting

Situated on the beautiful Northumberland coast with the opportunity to incorporate both the beach and the barn into your day. The Barn on the Bay has some amazing settings to select from – opt for a private beachside ceremony space or the paddock and yard for your outdoor drinks reception. Don’t miss the opportunity to take a vintage tractor ride to your seaside ceremony and let your guests have some fun along the way.

The local town of Amble is just a few miles away with additional accommodation, and Morpeth train station is a twenty minute drive for guest commuting via rail links.

The team are always happy to help with any travel related questions you or your guests have.

Vibe

The beach at Druridge Bay is the jewel in The Barn on The Bay’s wedding crown. Located on a coastal farm, they’re lucky enough to own one mile of private dunes which are available for wedding couples to use for their ceremony, drinks receptions overlooking the bay, camping, and glamping.

When couples walk through the dunes and along the beach path to the private beachside ceremony area they often let out a little gasp – a reaction the team are very used to. They also hear the same little gasps from wedding guests as they walk, or take a tractor ride to the coastal wedding ceremony; the setting really is that magnificent.

When the celebrations by the sea have finished guests are welcomed back to the farm for drinks on the verandah from their Old Dog & Duck vintage horse box bar. Wedding Breakfasts take place in the spacious Cowshed Wedding Barn, but this is no ordinary cowshed. A lot of effort has gone into creating a rustic luxe feel, including the beautiful neutral decor and palette, allowing couples to put their own stamp on the space for their big day.

With spaces for dining, drinking and dancing available inside the Barn, there is a fully stocked main bar as well as another quirky horse box cocktail bar. Sit back and relax on their leather chairs and sofa before hitting the dance floor or gathering around an indoor fire table. This all takes place under one roof so couples are able to mingle freely and there isn’t the issue of losing guests in separate reception rooms.

For 2023 weddings The Barn at the Bay will be introducing wedding catering options. They offer local, honest, ethical and sustainable food as either a sit down family sharing menu designed by a local chef, or an American style pitmaster smoked BBQ. All tasty and of the highest quality.

At the end of the night guests have to walk just a few steps to reach their adult-sized rustic bunks in Calico Barn (their purpose built group accommodation), head over to the dunes for camping and the glamping pods, or take a minutes’ walk to Poppy Cottage which where the wedding couple usually stay.

Wake up the next day to a lazy breakfast in the nearby cafe, or for the brave a bracing dip in the sea!

Absolutely wonderful, wonderful venue. Has all you could wish for. The ceremony was held on the dunes. Totally beautiful with sea as a backdrop. Stunning. Accommodation is first class. Alison, Nicola and the team could not have been more supportive and helpful. They made our weekend a marvellous experience. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Jim, Father of the Bride

Barn on the Bay is a gorgeous venue to get married at. The weather played its part on our day and things could not have been more perfect!

Alex & Charlie

We had our wedding here in August, it was the perfect venue and Alison and Phil were amazing. There was great communication the whole way and they made the whole experience stress free. Couldn’t praise them enough.

Cheryl & Claire

Couldn’t recommend Barn on the Bay highly enough. Alison and Phil, the owners, were so accommodating and went out of their way to ensure that our wedding reception was exactly what we had envisaged. A beautiful venue in a stunning location.

Sarah-Jane & Phil

Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to all of you at the Barn for making our day so special and the run up to it go smoothly. We had an amazing day and much of that is down to how you coordinated everything – so many little things in the background that I didn’t even notice happening that you made sure were all sorted.

Cathy & Rob

We can’t thank you enough for our unbelievable wedding on Saturday and the entire weekend. We literally had the best day of our lives and couldn’t have imagined it any better! You three and the team went above and beyond for us and everyone commented on how amazing the venue was and how friendly and welcoming you all were.

FAQs
Can I legally marry outdoors at your venue?

Yes you can! We have been granted permission for couples to sign with the sea as their back drop so you can complete your legal ceremony beachside if that is your wish.
