Thanks to Host Unusual for featuring us in their ‘Host Writer’ blog, in their selection of unusual places to stay in the run up to Christmas, which also offer guests the opportunity to purchase distinctive gifts. In our case that’s ceramics by Anne James, co-owner and interior designer of Warksburn Old Church, and a curated collection of work by North East artists whose work is on show in the gallery space and throughout the building. The article also highlights the Open Studio event at Warksburn Old Church on 26 November 2025, which offers a one-off opportunity to combine a look around the stunning interiors of our multi-award winning property with the chance to purchase great art.
