Venue Supports Local Businesses with New Offering

Luxury award-winning wedding and event venue, Northside Farm, is launching its first ever ‘pop-up’ tea shop to the public throughout the winter months with a variety of themed afternoon tea experiences.

The award-winning Northumberland barn venue is running the events to welcome more guests to visit the venue between hosting its exclusive wedding bookings, and as an additional offering post-pandemic where hospitality venues struggled the most.

Kicking off with Afternoon Tea in the Barn from November 19, the high tea’s will include a selection of delicate finger sandwiches, savoury treats, scones and cakes supplied by local independent business Cakeability, and can be adapted for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free or gluten-free alternatives in conjunction with plant-based supplier Made with Love and Plants.

Olivia Lockey, owner of Northside Farm, said: “Launching the pop-up afternoon tea’s feels like the perfect way to welcome more visitors to Northside Farm and is already gaining a lot of enquiries and bookings. If its demand continues, we will look to extend our offering into the New Year with lots more fun and creative ways to enjoy an afternoon tea.

“By introducing this new offering, we are also able to enter more catering partnerships with a host of local suppliers supporting their businesses as we continue to grow.”
