Shortflatt Tower is an exclusive retreat hidden in the
Northumberland countryside. It truly is one of the North East's most stunning settings; this graded building makes for a stunning wedding Venue.

We welcome you to Shortflatt Tower, Northumberland Wedding Venue; one of the most awe inspiring wedding locations and exclusive-use estates. Steeped in history, our tower & grounds offer a picturesque backdrop to your perfect day. Delicately blending traditional and contemporary flourishes with nature and grandeur, Shortflatt Tower offers a cosy countryside retreat for your exclusive use.

The private Northumberland estate, which dates back to 1257, sets the stage for the most memorable occasion of your life. Accompanied by fairytale cottages, beautifully-tended gardens, rolling green fields and ancient woodlands, we strive to provide an unforgettable experience for you, your friends, and family. Whether you’re looking for a bespoke wedding venue with a large ceremony accommodating all your friends and family, or a more intimate space to wed, witnessed by your nearest and dearest, Shortflatt Tower has it all.

Our newly-constructed Woodland Suite can host from 30 to 160 guests for wedding ceremonies, hidden amongst ancient woodland with floor-to-ceiling glass windows which allow the surrounding environment to seep in the room. Likened to a contemporary Barn Wedding Venue, The Woodland Suite is a unique glass-walled structure where you and your guests can be at one with nature.

Couples can also make use of The Lawn for their ceremony, should the weather allow so.

After a busy morning (and safe in the knowledge your guests are attended to), now’s your time to sneak away as a couple with your photographer and capture those first special moments together. Shortflatt Tower offers a plethora of magical backdrops for your wedding photographs within the estate and Bolam Lake is only a 5 minute drive away. Following an afternoon of fun, we return to The Woodland Suite which can host from 30 to 160 guests for dining. When it comes to your Wedding Breakfast, we like to do things a bit differently.

We believe every element of your wedding should reflect who you are as individuals and as a couple. The Kitchen at Shortflatt Tower boasts traditional, contemporary, and street food packages to choose from, but we also love to accommodate special requests so you can put your own stamp on the day.

Similarly with drink options, we want to make your wedding day perfect. Was there a nostalgic cocktail you enjoyed on your first date? Or a wine from your favourite holiday together? No problem, just let us know. After our expert wedding chefs have tantalised your tastebuds, our front-of-house team will swiftly transform The Woodland Suite into an entertaining space for the evening. With some tables removed and the The Woodland Bar open, The Woodland Suite can host up to 250 evening guests with ample space for a band and DJ.

Enjoy your first dance as a married couple amongst ancient woodland and party the night away until 01:00 AM, taking advantage of our late bar license.

After an emotional day of celebrations, you and your guests can retire to your on-site accommodation and wind down for the night. Our accommodation has one sole aim; to provide quintessential English luxury, glamour, and comfort. Sleeping up to 30 guests in The Manor House, we have an array of beautifully appointed rooms featuring roll-top baths and original wooden beams.

A further 41 guests can be accommodated in our range of 2, 3 & 5 bed luxury self-catering cottages. Tastefully restored utilising contemporary building techniques, they provide a unique and cosy experience for guests to relax and reflect on the day’s events.
