VIRTUAL TOUR

Wedding Receptions

Anyone is welcome to have their wedding reception with us.

Few other venues can provide the sense of occasion that you’ll find at Durham Cathedral Schools Foundation, with impressive architecture steeped in history, and the beautiful surroundings of the sweeping 50+ acres of our three sites.

You can begin with reception drinks in the spectacular grounds or in one of our reception rooms. Photographs can be taken in some of the unique locations around the Foundation, including the unique view back across the city towards the Cathedral.

The reception can be held in one of a selection of venues, including Big School, seating up to 160 guests. You can choose your menu from a large selection of dishes suggested by our catering team, or we can cater for your own menu.

Our chefs have trained at some of the world’s top schools, and provide an exceptionally high level of cuisine.

To ensure that such an important day runs smoothly for you, a member of our team will be dedicated to supporting you.

A wedding breakfast at Durham School or The Chorister School, is a truly special and memorable occasion. For more information, please get in touch by emailing events@dcsf.org.uk.

A message for families affected by the closure of Durham High School

We understand that this will be a difficult and uncertain time for many Durham High School pupils, families and staff as they consider the next steps for their education and future.

If your family has been affected by our neighbour school (Durham High School) closure, and you would like to discuss the options available to join our school, our Admissions Team is here to offer guidance, answer your questions and provide support in a confidential and compassionate manner.

Whether you are seeking information about places, transition arrangements, transport, scholarships, bursaries or simply wish to talk through your circumstances, we would be pleased to help.
