Weddings at Hamps Hall and Barn

Hamps Hall & Barn makes a splendid Peak District wedding reception venue. Celebrate your wedding in the quintessential British countryside and have a blast in the company of your loved ones. Tucked away in stunning Peak District, you will find magical backdrops for photos and lots of space for your big day. This historic house features great facilities that will ensure you and your guests will have a lovely stay.

Even though this Peak District wedding venue does not come with a wedding license, there are a number of places in the area where you can hold your ceremony including a beautiful church. Follow this with a reception party in the house. You can choose to do an outdoor alfresco party in the beautiful grounds or use the 50-foot long reception room which is perfect for parties. There is also a BBQ area. 40 of your guests can stay overnight and up to 80 extra day guests are welcome (£25 each, and can stay until Midnight). Furthermore, the dining area can easily seat 60 guests, however, this must be requested in advance as it is usually arranged for 48 guests.

If you wish you can use the field to put up a marque (if so please vacate it by midnight), and no DJ’s, Bands or Amplified music are allowed in the marquee. This would have to be in the Hamps Barn main room via our own sound system.

Bespoke Wedding Reception in the Peak District

Hire a professional caterer to take care of your gourmet meals or choose to prepare your own meals by hiring a self-catered stay. The choice is yours! Many of our couples decide to bring in a caterer for a couple of nights and self-cater on other nights. Best part? We do not charge corkage fees!

Choose to stay an entire week or just a weekend. No matter your decision, we’re sure hiring a large house like this will save you some cash over hiring a traditional wedding venue. You will also be able to stretch the party and fun! There is plenty of parking for all of your guests. Our spacious gardens will not only enable you to set up a big marquee but also to organise fun activities. Your guests will be entertained with our on-site games room with table tennis and table football. If you need to keep the kids occupied, do not worry we assure you that they will fall in love with the Video Game snug.

And don’t forget to get a photographer who will document your memories! If you’re looking for some lovely photographers familiar with the venue, you can reach out to Simon Atkins, Paul Jarrett, or Lisa Wildgoose, depending on the photography style you like!

Your Wedding in the Company of Everyone You Love

Hold your Peak District wedding reception by taking advantage of the Large Reception Room or the Dining Room. Please note external speakers are strictly not allowed, but we have our own amazing set up that DJ’s can connect to – see more here.

At Hamps Hall & Barn, we want to ensure that all guests have a time to remember including your pooches! This accommodation is pet-friendly so that your entire family can celebrate your special day with you. You’ll love exploring the Peak District with your dog.

Furthermore, it is also an accessible-friendly accommodation meaning guests with mobility disabilities as well as guests on normal-sized wheelchairs will also be comfortable.

For extra guests you can also rent out Merrymeet (sleeping 16 guests), which is just a 2-minute drive or a 10 minute walk from Hamps Hall and Barn.
