Hardwicke Hall Manor Hotel has the perfect setting for the most memorable day of your life. Set within its own grounds surrounded by woodland trees our grade II listed building captures the true essence of how a country house should feel. With a long history dating back to 920 ad Hardwicke Hall Manor was the first property to be licensed for mass with its own private chapel on the second floor.


The Hotel has a licence for civil ceremonies which can take place in our dining rooms overlooking the gardens for up to 120 people or outside on the lawns with the perfect backdrop of our Manor house.

The civil ceremony is under the jurisdiction of the Superintendent registrar at Durham County Registration Services.
