Plan an Unforgettable Weekend at Our Exclusive Peak District Celebration Venue
Finding a single celebration venue that can comfortably house your entire circle of friends or extended family is a challenge. Hargate Hall is a premier large group party venue in the Peak District, purposefully designed to bring up to 77 guests together under one historic roof.
Rather than splitting your party across separate local hotels or relying on late-night taxis, your guests enjoy exclusive use of our 12 on-site self-catering apartments. You get all the atmosphere of a grand, shared country estate celebration, combined with the private comfort of individual living spaces for every family.
Total Flexibility: Zero Corkage & Catering Freedom
We believe an unforgettable weekend celebration requires complete freedom. Hargate Hall is a fully DIY large group venue, meaning you have absolute control over your itinerary, timeline, and menu layouts:
Zero Noise Complaints: Because you secure exclusive hire of the entire estate, your group can relax, socialise, and celebrate late into the night without worrying about disturbing other guests or having strangers wandering around.
No Corkage Fees: Stock up the communal bar in the Main Hall with your own drinks. And you don’t pay a single penny extra.
Catering Liberty: Cook together in the apartment kitchens, organise a giant casual garden BBQ on the lawns. Alternatively hire your favourite local food trucks to pitch up on the estate.
What Can You Celebrate at Hargate Hall?
Our 7 acres of grounds, grand hall, and extensive accommodation provide the perfect canvas for multi-day group events. We specialize in hosting:
- Milestone Birthdays & Anniversaries: Turn a standard Saturday evening dinner into a memorable 3-day holiday with multiple generations staying together under one roof.
- Large Family Reunions: Expansive lawns for outdoor games, communal lounges for group catch-ups, and private spaces to retreat to when needed.
- Stag & Hen Weekends: Sophisticated, private country manor hire for group activities, private chefs, and late-night socializing.”
