Shotton Hall is a former 17th century country mansion set in 17.5 acres of landscaped gardens just off the A19 on the outskirts of Peterlee in glorious east Durham. It is centrally located for the towns of Hartlepool, Durham City and Sunderland as well as being easily accessible from further afield.
Shotton Hall has two function suites, wedding rooms and several smaller rooms, decorated and furnished in the style of the period.
Banqueting Suites
These beautifully appointed suites, the Brandling and Burdon Suites are available for wedding receptions, dinner dances, seminars, fayres, fashion shows etc. Both suites have the advantage of being served by their own entrance, restrooms, cloakrooms, bar and independent access to a lawned terrace.
The Brandlings Suite can comfortably accommodate around 150 people for a formal dinner / reception and 180 people for an evening function with dancing / entertainment.
The Burdon Suite will hold approximately 100 and 120 people respectively. These suites can be combined into one room for larger functions, accommodating up to 350 people.
Wedding Rooms
We have a number of variously sized rooms licensed for civil ceremonies/ partnerships that will provide the ideal setting, from an intimate small ceremony to a 350 person extravaganza.
All of the rooms are stylish and complimented by period style furniture.
Ancillary rooms can be made available for the bride and groom to make last minute adjustments to their outfits and to allow them the opportunity to change prior to the evening reception, if required.
Please note that Shotton Hall is an approved Premises for Civil Ceremonies only and Religious Ceremonies are not permitted.
The hirer’s attention is particularly brought to this matter, as any breach of this Regulation may lead to the revocation of the Town Council’s approval as approved premises for Civil Ceremonies.
