Durham hotel and spa unveils renovated wedding and function suite

A 32-bedroom country house hotel has re-launched its new wedding and function suite.

The Manor House Hotel and Spa in Durham has renovated its Knights Hall function suite, which has undergone a complete transformation with a new bar area and Minstrels Chapel.

Among the work, the original roof trusses have been exposed to create vaulted ceilings that have transformed the main room’s feel. Soft leather panelling, scenic tapestry wallcoverings, statement lighting and new grand entrance doors have added drama to the refurbishment.

Original spears, shields and armour which have long played a part in the furnishings of the Knights Hall have also been renovated and moved into a more prominent position, while the re-imagined space now features a new log burner fire and a reconfigured dance floorspace.

The renovations to-date have concentrated on the Manor Spa, bedroom updates and a new restaurant.

Johnathon Cairns, the hotel’s general manager says: “We feel that the re-born Knights Hall will put us back on the map for weddings and special occasions.

“It has been lovely to see our current brides and grooms come in and be blown away by the transformation.

“It has been so emotional seeing people’s tears of joy”.

With a range of new food offerings catering for all events and brand new wedding packages, The Knights Hall at the Manor House Hotel and Spa is available to book now.

To launch this with the public, the Manor House Hotel and Spa are offering one lucky couple the chance to ‘Win a Wedding’. Details of the competition and means of entry can be found by visiting https://manorhousehotel.net/wedding-competition/

Winners will be announced on August 12.
