North East gallery shortlisted for national wedding award

Published 21st Jan 2016

A Newcastle-based gallery has been shortlisted for a national wedding award - the only North East venue to feature in its category.

The Biscuit Factory, the UK’s largest arts, craft and design gallery, has been shortlisted for Best City Venue at the inaugural UK Wedding Awards.

The national awards, hosted by You and Your Wedding, Hitched and Perfect Wedding, recognise the very best in the UK bridal industry, with winners in each of the 23 categories decided by a public vote.

The Biscuit Factory, located within the Ouseburn valley, is housed within a former Victorian warehouse and boasts a beautiful, creative backdrop for a wedding characterised by contemporary art collections, wooden beams and original brickwork. Its purpose-built Biscuit Room is one of the largest in the city, accommodating up to 150 guests for a ceremony and 250 seated guests for a meal and party.

Rachel Brown, General Manager of The Biscuit Factory says:

“We are delighted to receive this national recognition and fly the flag for the city. We hope that the public will show their support for the gallery – and the region – by voting for us!”

Voting closes on Thursday 11 February 2016 and everyone who takes part will be entered into a prize draw to win an all-inclusive seven-night break for two to Cancun, Mexico. To vote visit .
