Civil Ceremonies Granted at St Chads, Durham
If you are looking for a unique and historic wedding venue that has everything in one place, stop your search at St Chad’s.
This historic bolthole in the shadow of Durham Cathedral has just been granted its ceremonial licence, meaning you can host your whole day in one place – from the city ceremony of your dreams to a knock-out three-course wedding breakfast and accommodation.

The splendid glass-roofed Cassidy Quad or charming lawned garden is the perfect setting for your civil marriage ceremony. For more intimate ceremonies, the delightful Senior Common Room and terrace, with its idyllic garden, offers a beautiful serene space for the happy couple and their nearest and dearest to mingle and enjoy the frivolities.

After your marriage ceremony, enjoy a sparkling drinks reception in the picture perfect gardens and rooms, followed by excellent cuisine in the Moulsdale Hall with Durham Cathedral as a stunning backdrop through the tall arched windows.
Could there be a more magical wedding setting? We think not!

To find out more, head to St Chad’s dedicated Guest List profile, or email chads.commercial@durham.ac.uk to arrange a viewing.
