Coffee House, Farm Shop & Craft Workshops

Come to Kirkharle Courtyard and enjoy a truly unique shopping experience at the birthplace of Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown. Arguably Britain’s most famous landscape architect he was responsible for many of our beautiful parklands.

Now home to many craftsmen in a diverse range of arts, Kirkharle is easily reached within half an hour from Newcastle, Morpeth and Hexham. You are afforded the rare opportunity of speaking to the designers and seeing the products being made and sold in the relaxed atmosphere of historic farm buildings.

Set in the midst of beautiful and unspoilt Northumbrian countryside, take this opportunity for a stroll to St. Wilfred’s Church and then onto Loraine’s Monument, where Robert was murdered by the Scots in 1483 on venturing from his “private devotions”.
