Description

Located in the tranquil countryside near Corbridge in the Tyne Valley, Healey Barn offers beautiful, open views south across the surrounding landscape. Yet despite its rural location, the barn is less than 20 miles from the centre of Newcastle. The Healey Barn buildings were converted by Cripps & Co in 2015 to create a luxury wedding venue. Retaining the charm and history of the original building, the barn works as well in the summer, with doors opening out onto a sunny courtyard, as it does in winter, with a large stone fireplace and underfloor heating. Lit by over 100 flickering candles and the canopy of fairy lights woven into its oak ceiling, the Long Barn is the ideal setting for a ceremony. The barn can be transformed into a drinks reception and dance floor after the ceremony. Underfloor heating and a roaring fire at one end means the barn is comfortable all year round. The Long Barn can accommodate 140 guests for a ceremony and up to 200 evening guests for drinks and dancing. With sweeping views over the Northumbrian landscape on one side and out into the courtyard, with its glow of twinkling lights, fire pits and lanterns, on the other, the Oak Room can accommodate 140 guests seated to dine. Sheltered from the wind by barn buildings on all sides, our sun-filled courtyard provides a large additional space for post-ceremony drinks and an excellent location for wedding photographs. The courtyard is transformed at night with lanterns, fire pits, and fairy-lit trees. Our wedding feasts receive as many compliments as the barn itself. We buy the best, cook it simply and serve it generously. Food is flame-cooked from fresh ingredients on a huge BBQ and French rotisseries in full view of our guests. Menus are designed collaboratively with our in-house chefs. The wedding team at Healey Barn are on hand to help organise everything from the big ideas to the last minute details.

More then amazing

So.... me and my partner Ben looked at healey barn, as soon as we walked through the door we knew this was our place. The staff are so attentive, especially the staff we had on our day. Charlotte, Fran and Doug. I cannot thbakyou enough. You made our day more than special. It’s hard to believe that every couple gets the same treatment it’s amazing the job you do. Nervous wasn’t even close to describe how I felt on the day. A hysterical mess is the best description. Fran kept me calm and felt like my best friend at that time. The day ran like clockwork. The food was amazing and I feel the chef(s) probably don’t get the thanks they deserve. Your food shoud be in a 5* Michelin restaurant! It’s phenominal! Everyone has commented since how the portions were more than generous but the majority of people cleared their plates after having seconds. My words to be Ben after the event we’re “shall we get divorced, just to do it all over again?!” Liking back in hindsight I’m sure a lot of people say aw I wish we had done this or we should have done that. Our weekend was more than perfect and it’s all down to the amazing team at healey barn. We’ll be back for a feast night soon.

Best day of our lives

From the moment we walked into Healey Barn 2 years ago we knew it would be where we would get married. It is just magical! The staff are all wonderful and were in regular contact throughout the planning process. The day itself was perfect. It went without a hitch and that was down to Leanne and the staff at the barn. We cannot thank them enough! They even ordered in beautiful weather for the day!! We had the best day of our lives.

Breathtaking venue

We organised our wedding from Australia, and Healey Barn made the wedding planning process so easy. They were quick to reply to emails, always friendly and helpful in recommending suppliers and made sure we had the best wedding day possible. Everyone commented on how breathtaking the venue was, how delicious the food was and how helpful the staff were. It really is a special venue and we cannot recommend it enough! Thank you to everyone at Healey Barn for giving us the most perfect day.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at Healey Barn?

The best? Impossible! Our venue is such a blank canvas that every wedding is unique, personal, fun and we have loved them all!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Ask questions! We are always around to answer the quickest of questions, the longest chain of questions, the amazingly bizarre questions, and the most obvious, mundane or confusing questions - but we know that every question answered reassures the couple immensely; so never be afraid to ask, ask, ask away!

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

We love the 'find your face to find your place' seating plan - the couples must take ages gathering photos of all the guests, and it reminds the guests of times spent with the happy couple.

Describe Healey Barn in 5 adjectives

Relaxed. Informal. Rustic. Rural. Fun!

Where’s the best photo spot at Healey Barn?

Overlooking the rolling Northumberland countryside on our stunning lawn, under our canopy of Mulberry trees.

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at Healey Barn?

That would be telling!

What’s your favourite canapé?

You decide...http://www.crippshealey.com/canapes-menu/ ! They are all delicious!

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

We love cheese and ham boards, but our favourite dance-floor snack is our Roasted 4-day marinated pork roll & apple sauce.

What is Healey Barn most unique feature?

The buildings - they are old farm buildings, and are just stunning. We especially love The Long Barn; used for civil ceremonies and dancing in the evening, has spectacular oak beams, candelabras, fairy lights and stone fireplace creating an enchanting and romantic atmosphere.

What part of your business are you most proud of?

Our food! Our formula is “Buy the best, cook it simply, serve it generously”. We like to make our food dramatic as well as delicious, so there’s an 8-spit rotisserie visible through a glass screen from the Dining Room, and large mobile BBQ which can be moved in and out of sight as appropriate. Our food is served 'feast-style' on boards and in bowls to the centre of the table for guests to just dig into! Yum!
