Grangefields – Cripps & Co is a beautifully restored barn wedding venue located in the Derbyshire countryside, just outside Ashbourne. As you follow the quiet, private road, you'll arrive at a hidden gem with spectacular views and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Here, it’s all about great food, good drinks, and celebrating in a setting designed for unforgettable moments.

Spaces to Celebrate
Exchange vows in the candlelit ceremony room, where rustic oak beams, red brick walls, and soft natural light set the scene. Outdoors, the sheltered courtyard offers a stunning outdoor ceremony space, as well as a large fire pit and barbecue area. For your wedding feast, the Dutch Barn has an open kitchen featuring a BBQ, French rotisserie, and wood-fired pizza oven, where guests can watch their meal being prepared.

Food & Drink
Food is at the heart of what we do. At Grangefields, everything is cooked over open flames for bold, delicious flavour. The huge barbecue, rotisserie and asado grill turn out show-stopping wedding feasts, from whole roast lamb and sirloin of beef to chargrilled seasonal vegetables. Paired with expertly crafted cocktails or a glass of wine from our hand-picked selection, it’s all about bringing people together over seriously good food.

Grange House
Grangefields now has Grange House, an on-site space for getting ready on the morning of your wedding. With plenty of natural light, a dedicated make-up room, a bar and dining area with a log burner, and surround sound, it’s the perfect place to add the final touches before walking down the aisle. (Don’t forget to ask about the butler service!)

Planning & Support
The team at Grangefields is on hand to help make the planning process seamless. They are your in-house wedding planners. They’ll recommend trusted suppliers, from florists to accommodation, and welcome you for a visit to walk you through the spaces in person.

This is a place where weddings feel effortless, where the food is always incredible, and where every detail is taken care of, so you can relax and enjoy the best day of your life.

Amazing Day!

Oh Grangefields! This place was everything and more! We had the absolute best day!
When a venue says don’t worry we will take care of it, you think okay that’s good, but when Grangfields say it, it’s absolutely true! Nothing was too much the day ran so smoothly.
Each and every staff member was amazing! They all looked like they loved working there! Nothing was too much for them! A special shout out to Victoria and Tim, you guys made our day so much more special! Thank you so much for being apart of it!
All of our guests were raving about this venue they couldn’t believe the beauty! And how much space everyone had. The fact that all the rooms are separate was just perfect!
I’m so sad it’s over cause I just want to do it all again! But we will 100% be back to see you again! Thank you Grangefields and all of the team!

Wedding 8.9.24

Wow, we are on a massive high from our wedding on Sunday. As soon as we saw Grangefields we knew it was completely for us and we had to book it. From day one all the staff were just brilliant and the whole process was seamless. Tim and the team kept in touch regularly and always replied to questions promptly. The venue itself is just stunning, but also very cool and edgy, which really translates through photos. The only negative is that it’s over, we just want to do it all again!!! All of our guests loved it.. Thank you to everyone at Grangefields for making our dream and vision come to life. It really was the best day ever…x

Truly Stunning!

Truly Stunning!
When we look back, we can’t see ourselves getting married anywhere else. From start to finish the team at Grangefields have been truly amazing. The venue is breathtaking and you can feel the magic in the air just from walking around during your visit. I’ll admit, this venue was over budget for us but once seeing it in person we fell in love!
Wedding planning was so so easy with the team! Any questions or updates were answered within hours. Their online portal system gave us a direct line of communication so there was no waiting for meetings to have questions answered.
Our wedding day was truly magical. This venue decorates itself and we didn’t have to do much to make our day perfect! We booked all our suppliers through Grangefields wedding fayre. All were familiar with the venue, making our day run so smoothly!
The staff are incredible, all the staff behind the bar were dancing with guests. Nick and Jade, our directors were amazing! They talked us through the day and were checking up on us constantly. My drink was never empty!
Overall, our day couldn’t have been any better. Grangefields helped us create special memories and it is a truly magical place, with the best team.

The perfect day

If you're considering Grangefields, my advice to you is go for it- you will not be disappointed. Grangefields was the first venue we saw and we knew immediately that it was the one for us. A gorgeous venue with a romantic ceremony barn, modern minimalist reception room and relaxed evening space- what's not to love! The Grangefields team are incredible- Holly and Haley were our day/night managers and they were just so lovely. We knew we were in great hands and could just enjoy our day- they'd got everything in hand and took the best care of us and our guests. The food was out of this world- so many guests have said it was the best they've ever had at a wedding!

Any future Grangefields couples, you're in for the perfect day and I'm so envious you will get to experience it for the first time because it was just everything we wanted and more.

Beautiful venue, great team and amazing food!

We had such a special day celebrating our wedding at Grangefields! It's such a beautiful venue and throughout the entire planning process, the staff were amazing! The team were incredible on the day and coordinated everything which meant we could relax and enjoy our day with our family and friends. All the food we tasted at the feast night was delicious so it was difficult to choose but our guests are still raving about the chicken! I would definitely recommend this venue.

Stunning venue and wedding day

We had our wedding here on Sunday 30th June. Tim was magnificent at making sure our day ran as smoothly as possible. Every moment was planned out and we couldn't have asked for more. The day did feel a bit less organized once Tim had to leave and we swapped to the night staff member but she was still very polite and helpful if we needed anything. I think it was down to the experience of Tim and he was so brilliant with us for the main part of the day. The venue is absolutely stunning and we have had so many compliments about the venue and the food especially on the days following on from the wedding. Me and my wife are so happy and pleased that we went with this venue and if we had to do it all again we would do the same.

Fantastic venue with brilliant staff

We cannot speak highly enough about the venue of Grangefields and the team that work there. Tim and the rest of the team ensured the day ran smoothly without a hitch so we could relax and enjoy! Communication between us and the venue before the big day was always quick and easy. The food was amazing and the chef was flexible with our requests. The venue itself is picturesque with several different areas that could be used for guests.
Thanks again to all at Grangefields for making it a day to remember!

When we decided to start planning our wedding, Grangefields wasn’t yet finished being built and my gut told me I had to wait to see this venue - I was absolutely right!! Grangefields is the most amazing venue and our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. From the planning, to the build up, the ceremony and everything else throughout our day was just perfect! Holly, Haley and the bar staff were all amazing, our guests kept complimenting how lovely they all were. Thank you again to all of the team at Grangefields for giving us the most incredible Wedding Day xx

Perfect magical day

Where to even start, the venue is pristine, every thing is kept up perfectly, our day has truly been our dream wedding, a big contribution was our on the day staff.

Amazing venue, food and people!

Grangefields is an absolutely beautiful venue, the food is delicious (plus you get plenty of it) and the friendly staff go above and beyond to make sure they give you the day you’ve always wished for. The online portal makes the planning process so straightforward. Along with this you have an online chat which makes it really easy to send any questions you have day or night. The staff are always quick to respond and are very accommodating. We cannot recommend Grangefields enough, they gave us the wedding we had dreamed of.

Exceeded all expectations

Our wedding day with Grangefields was absolutely perfect, we could not be any happier with how the day went - everything was incredible, from the food and drink, to the service, the support from the day and night managers, the gorgeousness of the venue..everything!
We have had so many glowing reviews of the day from our guests, so many people said it was the best wedding food they had ever eaten, incredible service from staff and the venue itself (particularly the ceremony room!) blew everyone away.
I can’t thank the Grangefields team enough, particularly Jess, Lucy and Tim, for all their help in the planning process, answering all our questions very promptly along the way and giving us the best day of our lives, we want to do it all again!! Can’t wait to get all our photos and re-live it all.
Thanks so much again, Lotty & Dan xxx
