Frequently Asked Questions about Weddings at The End Hemmel
-
The End Hemmel is situated at the home of Rigg & Furrow brewery, set on our family farm.
But it isn’t just the on site brewery that makes The End Hemmel unique…
It could also be the herd of cows that graze right outside the venue or the sprawling views of the beautiful Northumbrian countryside. But maybe it’s the fact that we choose to only hold up to 15 weddings a year. And as a small family business we treat each wedding as if it were one of our own!
-
If you’ve read through the available wedding packages & brochure we recommend coming along for a visit.
If you’ve never visited us before we recommend booking a Quick Sneak Peak appointment & a visit to our brewery tap. You’ll then probably be able to tell if this is the right venue for you. The sneak peak appointment is an unguided appointment, a member of the brewery tap team will show you into the space.
If you’ve visited us before, or already had a sneak peak of the venue then we suggest booking a Show-round & appointment with our wedding coordinator Pippa.
You can book show-round & quick peak appointments here. If there’s no suitable times send us an email at events@riggandfurrow.co.uk
