Located in the beautiful city of Newcastle upon Tyne, Backworth Hall is a hidden gem just waiting to be discovered. Situated on 85 acres of breathtaking land, this venue has a rich history dating back to the late 18th century. Once the home of Ralph William Grey, a wealthy landowner and gentleman, Backworth Hall has transformed into a hub of welfare and recreation for the Backworth coal-mining district.
With over 3000 employees, the mining community relied on Backworth Hall as their social and recreational centre. Miners contributed sixpence from their wages to the Social Fund, ensuring the place could thrive. Today, Backworth Hall operates as a registered charity, dedicated to providing welfare and sporting facilities to the local community.
