Tie the knot in nature at one of the UK’s most sustainable farms Couples dreaming of a wedding that’s as green as it is gorgeous can now say ‘I do’ at Dalton Moor Farm, a stunning vegan fruit farm and eco-venue on the outskirts of County Durham. Home to the School of Sustainable Living, Dalton Moor Farm has just opened bookings for 2026 weddings, with a truly exclusive twist: only one wedding per season. That means couples get the entire site to themselves, surrounded by acres of peaceful countryside, wildflower meadows and the sounds of nature. Each celebration is completely bespoke, with optional event management, a list of trusted local suppliers, and access to the site for up to a week before and after the big day for setup and take- down.
