Your Bespoke Derbyshire Wedding, Exactly Your Way
Hargate Hall offers a premier “do-it-yourself” wedding experience right in the heart of the beautiful Derbyshire countryside. Unlike restrictive hotels, we operate as a family-run, exclusive-use destination that places you completely in charge of your celebration
We provide the grand historic spaces and luxury accommodation; the rest is a blank canvas for your individual style
Why Couples Choose Our Self-Catering Venue:
- Total Supplier Freedom: Bring your own chosen caterers, food trucks, stylists, and entertainment.
- Zero Corkage Fees: Sourced your own favorite drinks? Bring them all along with absolutely no extra fees or service penalties.
- 3-Night Property Takeover: The entire country house and estate are yours from Friday afternoon until Monday morning.

Complete Flexibility – From Intimate to Grand
Many traditional wedding venues force you to shuffle guests between fixed, restrictive rooms. At Hargate Hall, our flexible layouts adapt seamlessly to match your precise guest numbers:
- The Main Hall: A beautiful, atmospheric indoor setting perfect for smaller, intimate ceremonies.
- The Licensed Outdoor Pavilion & Gazebo: Breathtaking spaces set within our parkland grounds for open-air civil ceremonies.
- The Wedding Marquee: A spectacular, elegant structure allowing you to comfortably host much larger dining and evening receptions.
Transparent Weekend Hire Pricing
We believe in straightforward planning without hidden operational surcharges. Because every DIY wedding is entirely bespoke, we do not package menus or drink counts. Instead, our whole-venue 3-night hire options range from £6,500 to £12,000 depending on your chosen season.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, absolutely! We love seeing our couples bring unique, creative themes to life. We simply ask that you do not pin, tape, or attach items directly to the historic woodwork or plaster walls to prevent structural damage.
Yes. Hargate Hall is fully licensed by Derbyshire registrars to host civil ceremonies and partnerships. Every legal proceeding is custom-tailored to suit the couple’s personal requirements
Because our weekend dates are nearly always fully booked with private weddings, weekend tours are rarely available. However, we host personal viewings mid-week during the daytime or directly after work hours
