About this space

Heathy Lea can be your very own little piece of heaven for the whole weekend surrounded by the people you love. Nestled in a corner of Chatsworth Estate, amongst sheep-dotted fields, it truly is perfect for a quintessential English wedding. Seize the opportunity to get away from the city noise and frolic in the heart of a national park. The venue will be entirely yours for the whole weekend – a perfect choice if one-day parties leave you hungry for more!

Exchange your vows in the garden summerhouse or nearby church before getting ready for your fairy-tale reception. 120 soft padded chairs can be arranged for your guests in a spacious marquee or tipi, alongside wooden tables stocked with delicious food. Basket chandeliers and blooming flowers can be used to emphasise the estate’s natural beauty.

If you want, ask for a blessing under the Heathy Lea tree’s wide canopy. A swing hangs from its branches, inviting a playful photoshoot. You might even get llamas to pose with you in your pictures.

The venue offers accommodation for up to 24 people across our 5 Shepherds Huts & 4 Cottages. Your stay can last from Friday to Monday morning. Only 12 weddings per year are organised at Heathy Lea so make sure to book it early!
