5 reasons you should bring your bride to Gin & Thresher 🥂🤍

💍One - There’s no where more beautiful than Northumberland. Wether your bride tribe likes walks, outdoor fun and exploring the countryside, or just enjoying the view from the pool and garden, you won’t beat West Northumberland.

💍Two - Our bedrooms are set up perfectly for every group type. Flexible bed arrangements, en suites with every room, double sink bathrooms and spacious wet rooms so everyone can get their glam on at once! We can send you a drawn room plan in advance too, so you can organise your group. Spreadsheet planners… we’ve got you covered!

💍Three - Ain’t no party like a G&T party! We have thought of everything to make sure your party girl has an epic evening. Speakers and disco lights in the pool, every type of glass for your cocktails, endless fridge space for canapés and wine, mood lighting and of course our beautiful cocktail bar area, with indoor and outdoor seating joined by patio doors.

💍 Four - We can offer endless contacts for suppliers in whatever you need. The best of the best, whatever your budget. Cocktail makers, caterers to fill your fridge before you arrive, a private chef experience, outdoor activities, make up artists, a local pub for a girly supper… you name it, we know the best person for it!

💍Five - Our facilities will suit all your guests. There’s quiet nooks for the introvert, bedrooms away from the bar for the Auntie who likes to be in bed by 10, a cocktail shaker and fancy coffee machine for the two wild bridesmaids who love an espresso martini and ample private garden to entertain the “let’s play a game” gang.
