Kirkley Hall is a 17th Century Grade II listed building situated in the heart of the Northumberland countryside, yet only 8 miles from Newcastle city centre and 4 miles from Newcastle airport. The hall has several function rooms and beautiful gardens, including a Victorian garden and a sunken garden, which are open to the public all year round. The picturesque surroundings make the Hall an ideal venue for weddings, conferences and other business or social functions. Formally a traditional agricultural College, Kirkley Hall merged with Northumberland College in 2000. The College offers an education and training service for the agricultural and rural community of Northumberland and beyond.
