From booking 18 months prior the Weddings team made every effort to ensure nothing was too much trouble and were very easy to contact when required.

When we visited the Castle we were made to feel very welcome and they ensured the planning was stress free!

After meeting the lovely team and viewing the rooms on our first visit we knew instantly this was the perfect venue for our Beauty and the Beast themed wedding ceremony and wedding reception.

We booked the venue well in advance and as promised we were kept updated of when menu choices, number of guests, final payments etc were due.

Nothing was a problem and the staff assisted/advised in helping our day being a magical one to remember and it sure was.

Perched up on top of a hill, Lumley Castle has stood guard over Chester le street for over 600 years. A local luxury wedding venue and hotel, but have you ever heard much about the Black Knight Restaurant? Well now you will. Being a local lass for 35yr, I must admit that it is only in 2017/8 I finally visited Lumley Castle…

Blogging has taken me many places but one place I didn’t expect to visit so early in my blogging career was Lumley Castle! I first visited Lumley Castle, which is in Durham in July. I was speaking on a panel for the North East Chamber of Commerce’s annual ‘Inspiring Female’s’ conference…

A couple of weeks ago I went to a charity cabaret evening at Lumley Castle. It was the first time I’d ever been to Lumley Castle and I hope it won’t be the last! What a beautiful location!!! The event was to raise money and awareness for cancer research and turned out to be a lovely evening…

Over the past 6 years we have gone to The Family Christmas Sunday Lunch at Lumley Castle. We always have a great family day all 10 of us. The service is fabulous from the booking and organising from Jan to the perfect treatment we get from all the staff, receptionists to chefs and waiting staff…
