From traditional white weddings and humanist services to civil ceremonies and same-sex partnerships, we proudly host every type of wedding imaginable.
A taste of HistoryThe Kings Arms hotel was built in 1782 and rebuilt in 1845. The hotel has 18th
century architecture.
The hotel has had famous visitors Charles Dickens and Lewis Carroll. By the end of the 19th century The Kings Arms hotel became central to the towns social life and
was a base for the merchants and traders of the former corn exchange at the bottom of Hide Hill.
The Kings Arms Hotel is believed to have been home to Berwicks first theatre which
was built in 1794 at the rear of the building. Unfortunately, fire destroyed the theatre in 1845 and our current Assembly Rooms were built in its place.
The Kings Arms also hosts a medieval walled garden with a Saxon well dating back to anything over 800AD and over the years has gained a traditional wish well roof
which we are sure many people have dropped a coin or two into.
Undoubtedly, the hotel over the years has developed its stories of the past and present and no doubt will continue to do so in the future.
