About Bowburn Hall Hotel

Bowburn Hall Hotel is a country house hotel set in five acres of landscaped gardens at Bowburn, just 2.5 miles from the historic city of Durham and moments from the A1(M). Fully licensed for civil ceremonies, it offers a graceful indoor ballroom for classic weddings and a garden gazebo and pagoda for outdoor ceremonies in the warmer months, with a tree-lined aisle and fountain in the grounds, and can seat up to around 120 guests for a reception.

With accommodation on site and easy access from the motorway, it is a convenient yet countrified choice for couples who want a garden wedding close to Durham without being in the middle of the city. As with any popular venue, prime dates go early, so it pays to enquire well in advance.
