There's no finer venue to command the third day of exclusive Christmassy coverage for our glittering Guest List community.
Here’s 12 reasons why you should be counting down the days to its opening…

1. TRADITION MEETS TREND

The Pump House was designed by renowned engineer Thomas Hawksley and built between 1873-1879, being virtually untouched since WW2.
Many of the original features remain, but are being complimented with ultra-modern flourishes to bring it smack bang up to date.
Think dried blooms, intimate, industrial-style hanging lighting, terrific tablescapes and an awe-inspiring atmosphere.

2. PACKAGED PERFECTLY

The venue offers five incredible wedding packages – designed to ensure the wedding day of dreams and include the North East’s finest wedding creatives within them.
From make-up masters to sensational catering, you'll be provided with a tried-and-trusted wedding dream team to help your day fall immaculately into place.
And if you'd rather source suppliers yourself, or do things your way, packages can be tailored more flexibly to suit your needs.

3. FABULOUS FODDER

Food is at the heart of what is on offer at Dalton Old Pump House and couples can expect inspirational food options, ranging from sharing platters, street food, five-course gastro feasts to three-tier naked cakes and signature cocktails... Yes please!

4. SPACE TO ENTERTAIN

This impressive venue spans an incredible 4,000sq ft in total (WOW), meaning you can host the most magical soirée with all of your nearest and dearest.

5. EDITOR LOVES:

“We fell in love with the ceremonial space at the entrance to this venue and firmly believe couples will too - jaw-dropping aisle style guaranteed." – Karen Bell

6. MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN

The team behind Dalton Old Pump House is House of Mooshki – the iconic bridal design brand (meaning each booking enables a discounted dream dress too!)

7. A BEAUTY WITHIN

We investigated this impressive venue pre-refurbishment as part of Belle Bridal AW20's exclusive 'A Beauty Within' editorial...
Cue the industrial luxe.
