Why did you choose Ellingham Hall as your North East Location Venue?  

Abbie Jeffrey, Social and Content Manager for Humes said “It was the impressive rooms and beautiful décor that first caught our eye. With many unique rooms that told their own story, we knew that there would be many amazing photo opportunities, but Ellingham Hall exceeded our expectations. The overall grand, luxurious feel of the venue and its location in the picturesque Northumberland countryside captured the essence of our photoshoot perfectly.”

Tell us about the Spaces you used for the Shoot

 We shot in the two stunning Reception Rooms (the Entrance Hall and Drawing Room), Lady B’s Wedding Suite, Grand Staircase and the exterior manicured Grounds. Each space provided a new visual and ambience, with so many vibrant colours, pieces of unique furniture, textures and natural lighting to give our catalogue the variety we were looking for.

What was your Experience of the Venue and Team? 

 Ellingham Hall has been one of our favourite venues to date. The team were a delight to work with and were extremely accommodating throughout the booking process. We were greeted on the day of our photoshoot with a warm welcome and refreshments to help ourselves to. The Ellingham Hall team helped make our photoshoot go as seamless as possible.

Would you recommend Ellingham as a North East Location Venue? 

We would absolutely recommend Ellingham Hall for anyone looking to use the venue for a photoshoot. After a great experience at the venue, we have since used their sister venue Lemmington Hall for another photoshoot and hope to continue to work with the team in the future.

When specialist equine supplies company Bedmax needed a venue to carry out sales training they wanted a venue with no hurdles.

So they chose Ellingham Hall and managers were so impressed with their first visit they have vowed they will be back.

Bedmax, which produces horse bedding from its manufacturing facility in north Northumberland, needed somewhere with easy access for its UK sales team to carry out training.
As well as having use of a meeting room, the management team were delighted that they had exclusive use of the hall and the grounds for their staff.

Tilly Fuller, Head Office and HR Manager at Bedmax, emailed us to say: “Bedmax would like to express our sincere thanks to Lynn and the team at Ellingham Hall for hosting our sales training day.

“The location of the venue is stunning with fabulous décor to match. Our meeting room was perfect and it was lovely to have exclusive use of the additional reception rooms. Parking was plentiful and the staff very friendly and accommodating.

“Ellingham Hall offers a wonderful, competitively priced venue. We will be back!”

Last month, around 90 delegates were welcomed to Ellingham Hall for an informative seminar, discussing intergenerational wealth and personal finance.

Sage Wealth Management along with Warcup Law Firm organised this joint event. The seminar highlighted the importance of making wills and powers of attorney. All this to help their delegates plan how to pass on their wealth to future generations and plan for long term care.

Michael Sage, Director of Sage Wealth Management, was delighted at the comments from delegates and said: “The hall catered for everything we needed, from the luxury entrance rooms, to the grounds outside, which we used to talk with clients in more detail afterwards. It was exactly what we wanted to allow us to host a presentation of this size.

Guests were welcomed with a selection of drinks and canapés in the entrance hall and then again on departure.

The seminar itself took place in the Chapel, while the dining room and drawing room provided the perfect spaces for relaxing.

Mark Warcup, principal and owner of Warcup Law Firm said “I believe some guests may have chosen to come along to experience one of our events at Ellingham Hall. The grounds here are really lovely and its nice to give those local to the venue a chance to enjoy them.”

Ellingham Hall are able to cater for a range of exclusive, corporate events of all sizes. If you are planning something for your business, then contact a member of the Events team to find out how we can make your event a success too.

If you think we’re all about formal events, then think again!

We opened our doors to welcome the team from Everything Different  just before Christmas, and they had a fun-filled time here! We were chosen for their staff Christmas party and team building day because we’re not only different, we’re just a 45-minute drive from Newcastle, where the agency’s office is based.

The guys were here for a full afternoon and evening to celebrate the festive season and to take part in team building activities – and they packed a lot into their time!

There was clearly a bit of a competitive edge as the team was split into three groups that took part in laser clay pigeon shooting, crazy golf and treasure hunting. Out on the front lawn, there was laughter (and a bit of frustration for some) as the laser clay pigeon shooting took place.

Our dining room was transformed into a small one-hole crazy golf course!

There were some hijinks and loud cheers as one or two people managed to achieve the illusive hole in one!

As well as experiencing new activities or honing skills, the team also tested their mettle and observation as part of a treasure hunt, which took part in our extensive grounds and rooms of our beautiful mansion.

Each activity was interspersed with teas, coffees and food in the kitchen before the evening activities began.

After the fresh air and activities of the day, the evening started with a quiz in the chapel before dinner which, despite it being a chilly December day, was a barbecue!

The Everything Different team also chose a Gatsby theme, which blended perfectly with the setting here at Ellingham Hall.

According to Everything Different Group Chief Executive Ben Quigley, we were the perfect venue for the event. He said: “We like to do something different, and Ellingham Hall is certainly out of the ordinary. We had a fantastic time here.

“The activities were fantastic and enabled us to get our teams mixed up and get everybody bonding and having a good time together in an amazing environment.”

Mark James, who is Managing Director of the company’s Differentology – specialist research and insight division, added Ellingham Hall was a great place for business.

“It’s not too far from Newcastle and it’s lovely to get somewhere a little different and out of the hustle and bustle of the city,” he said.

Upon relaunching Ellingham Hall as a destination for corporate events, it was our pleasure to welcome over 30 business owners to a corporate showcase!

North East Chamber of Commerce members, as well as exclusive local guests, were invited to explore our luxurious rooms and sample some delicious food! Additionally, there was a chance to be entertained by a troupe of incredible dancers who were certainly a spectacle!

Several guests commented that hotels don’t allow you full access, but that’s what we’re all about!

Whether it’s a corporate event or a wedding, you should feel relaxed and at home. Indeed, the fact we were happy to let our guests explore the Hall left many of them in awe.

Lindsay Benton, who owns her own business, Northumberland Nutrition said this: “Ellingham Hall is amazing. I’d never been before, but after being able to look around at the all the rooms, including the kitchen, I’d say it is one of the best events venues in the region. The facilities are amazing and it’s a beautiful place. I have to say, the food was very good!”

Meanwhile, Clare McCabe, from the North East Chamber of Commerce, said the Hall had been a perfect venue!

“The Hall has such a lovely feeling and having our meeting at the same time as the corporate showcase was perfect because there was music and entertainment too, which gave a very different feel to what we usually have. It’s somewhere we’d certainly come back to.”

Like so many others who visited, David Kirkland, from North East Times magazine, had never been to Ellingham Hall before.

“I have heard of the hall before and knew about it hosting weddings, but I’d never been. We arrange events across the region and it would be a perfect place for events. We like to get away from the office for some production meetings, and it’s a place that would be perfect for those meetings. It is a very surprising place; particularly how big it is. I was very impressed. I have to say I was also impressed with the members of staff. They were all very polite.”

We undoubtedly couldn’t have put on such an amazing launch without our supporters:

Instore Radio, The Whole Shc-Bang, Paul Slattery Caricatures, Corporate Illusion, Clear & Loud AV, Pure Entertainment Group, Prime Entertainment, Phil Smith Photography and North East Chamber of Commerce.

If you haven’t been to explore Ellingham Hall, or haven’t thought about us as a corporate venue, why not arrange to come and have a look?
