Just for You

Paxton House combines the elegance of our Palladian house with the natural beauty of our riverside lawns and woodlands.  We can help you create a wedding day or party with a unique character that suits you and your budget from 200 guests to just 30. Whatever you want to celebrate, our historic setting will make it memorable and our dedicated team is on hand to help.  Paxton is equidistant from Edinburgh and Newcastle and only a few miles from the A1 and Berwick-upon-Tweed’s national rail links.

“The children got to take part in role play, trying on costumes, handling and viewing items from the Victorian era. The children thoroughly enjoyed their day and I would definitely recommend it to others.”

Mrs Fleming, Coldstream Primary School

Great day paddle boarding for the first time. Friendly, helpful instructors put everyone at ease. Great fun, would definitely recommend!

“The pupils were fully engaged in the activities and clearly enjoyed their day whilst meeting the learning objectives. Excellent value for money”

Mr Smith, London

Before I left Grenada, I gave you the best advice I was capable of… Kindness and humanity to the slaves was one of the things I endeavoured to impress most strongly in your mind… They poor things are so dependent upon the white people over there and so much in their power, that wantonly to use that power is the height of cruelty. A manager of a plantation should consider himself as the father of the slaves, and treat them with tenderness. They are human beings as well as ourselves and very capable of distinguishing between what is right and what is wrong…

Ninian Home, 22 October, 1789

Well worth booking onto the house tour to view the fine house, rooms and furniture.

Chamber music making at its finest.
