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. Luxurious overnight accommodation for up to 34 guests is available at Healey Hall. The wedding team at Healey Barn are on hand to help organise everything from the big ideas to the last minute details.

The perfect day
Healey Barn was the only wedding venue we viewed and we fell in love with it straight away. It is set in a perfect location, surrounded by woodland and lots of greenery. The venue itself is a beautiful barn with a rustic aesthetic and has a spacious courtyard. When we walked into the ceremony room for the first time we knew that was where we wanted to get married. Every aspect of the barn was perfect and we knew we didn’t want to view any other venues. We cannot praise the team highly enough. Charlotte and Leanne looked after us from the day we first visited and they were always warm, friendly and helpful. They answered any questions we had (and we had a lot!). We had multiple date changes during the pandemic and, even though they were extremely busy, they completely put our minds at ease. We didn’t have to worry about anything on the wedding day itself. Everything was handled by the team so we were able to completely relax and enjoy our day. We can’t thank them enough. The food. Wow. The food is genuinely phenomenal. It was a real talking point on the day among our guests who said that not only was it the best wedding meal they ever had, but some of the best food they had ever had - and we agree! The canapés were absolutely delicious and a great start for what was to come. The main meal was fresh, hot, and all tables were served at the same time. The food was delicious, so much so that we have booked to go to one of the feast nights later this year to experience it all again! We had to delay our wedding four times due to COVID and when the day finally came, we could not have asked for a more perfect day. Healey Barn is a magical place to get married and we were so lucky to have our wedding there. The setting, staff and food are what really set it apart from other venues. Healey Barn will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Hands down the best wedding venue!
Not only is Healey Barn the most beautiful venue the staff are amazing and made sure everything was perfect! The food was the most incredible food I have ever tasted and paired with the most amazing wine. The staff were helpful and attentive throughout and I was able to relax on the day knowing that eveything was in safe hands and I am a a control freak! All the guests commented on the venue and the food, with most stating it was the best wedding breakfast they have ever had. The staff are so thoughtful and as it was Easter even bought myself and my husband a lindt bunny that was presented with our prosecco after our vows! Just the best! Would recommend to anyone!

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.

Travel Notes

From Newcastle; head out on the A69 towards Hexham. Before reaching Hexham, and just after a turning towards Newton, take the first exit on the large roundabout onto the A68. At the next roundabout, take the second exit (straight over the roundabout). You will drive up a slight hill which bears to the left, and when you reach the top of the hill you will see the first exit to Healey – however, keep on going until you see the second turning to Healey shortly after. This road is narrow, but there are plenty of passing places. Healey Barn is just off this road on your left, you will see the sign.

Describe the best wedding that happened at Healey Barn - Cripps & Co?

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

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.

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

What is Healey Barn - Cripps & Co 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!
