About
In the heart of the North Pennines, between the picturesque towns of Middleton-in-Teesdale and Barnard Castle yet only an hours drive from Newcastle & Durham Cities, lies Blackton Grange Estate.
Situated in a Designated Dark Sky Discovery Site and boasting spectacular views over reservoirs and secluded moors, it really is the perfect setting for an away day, corporate gathering or team building event.
The site, previously a youth hostel and outdoor activity centre, has been carefully and lovingly converted to an excellent standard to provide clients with one of the most unique properties in the North East to host their events.
Set within an 11 acre country estate, Blackton Grange consists of a newly renovated Barn which is a flexible event space capable of hosting up to 90 guests at any one time.
There is also the luxury farmhouse accommodation with sleeping for up to 17 , an array of communal areas & outdoor luxuries to include hot tubs and fire pits - perfect for smaller events.
Both properties can be used either in combination or on an individual basis to create your unique and exclusive event. With a wonderfully scenic setting that will be hard to beat, Blackton Grange can cater to all requirements. Whether you are looking for a unique conference space, team building retreat,
workshop space or wellness get away for your staff members, we are able to provide it all with our carefully vetted and hand picked partners.
We are delighted to be able to share our space with you & hope to welcome you soon.
