Northumberland leisure developers Doxford Group are planning to open three new sites including a luxury spa and a venture in Bamburgh.
The company, which owns Doxford Barns and Charlton Hall, near Alnwick, Northumberland, announced the plans after releasing record-breaking financial results following a post-Covid bounceback. Consolidated accounts published by the business – launched with its inaugural wedding and event venue Doxford Barns in 2015 – show net revenue rose to £3.9m, compared to pre-pandemic levels of £1.6m, while Ebitda grew from £0.6m pre-Covid to £1.5m.
It said wedding bookings for 2023 are also the highest in the group’s history, despite the prevalent economic uncertainty. The growing hospitality firm is set to open its third venue this year – The Tempus, a boutique venue within the ground of its 150-acre country estate near Alnwick, with the decor taking its inspiration from Lewis Carroll’s famous story Alice in Wonderland.
