The Willows at The Woodmans

Set within the grounds of The Woodmans Arms in Whickham, we offer a purpose-built wedding venue combining rustic character with elegant, contemporary touches. Our exclusive-use setting provides a relaxed and personal environment where couples can celebrate surrounded by countryside views and the rolling landscape of the Derwent Valley. From the moment guests arrive in our luxurious Aviary Lounge to the ceremony and reception, every part of the day can flow naturally through our carefully designed spaces. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring the surrounding scenery into the venue, while timber, stone, chandeliers and warm furnishings create a distinctive atmosphere. We take great pride in our food, with our kitchen team creating wedding menus around each couple's plans and preferences. Our five luxury suites provide convenient accommodation on site, while our dedicated wedding team supports couples throughout the planning process and on the day itself. We focus on creating memorable celebrations that feel personal, beautifully presented and genuinely enjoyable for everyone.
