Hawthorn Hideaway is an intimate, adults-only woodland retreat and wedding venue specialising in romantic elopements, micro-weddings, vow renewals, proposals and honeymoons.

Set within two private acres beside the Chesterfield Canal, the venue is designed for couples who want their wedding to feel personal, relaxed and completely different from a traditional large celebration. Couples can enjoy exclusive use of the entire retreat, including its luxury lodges, Kingfisher Narrowboat, woodland gardens, private yurt and outdoor ceremony spaces.

Every wedding is carefully created around the couple. From candlelit ceremonies beneath a heart-shaped floral arch to private dining in the yurt, woodland photographs, romantic hot tubs and peaceful waterside moments, every part of the experience is designed to feel magical from arrival to departure.

Hawthorn Hideaway works closely with a trusted team of local suppliers, including a celebrant, florist, photographer and private chefs. Couples can choose from beautiful floral styling, personalised ceremonies, luxury private dining, grazing tables, woodland BBQ feasts, wedding photography and thoughtful finishing touches.

Its intimate weddings are ideal for couples celebrating alone or with a small number of their closest family and friends. With accommodation available on site, there is no need to rush away after the ceremony. Instead, couples can relax, celebrate and enjoy precious time together over two unforgettable days.

As an owner-run venue, Hawthorn Hideaway is known for its warm, personal service and exceptional attention to detail. The owners are involved throughout the planning process and are on hand during each stay to ensure everything flows beautifully. No two weddings are the same, and every celebration is thoughtfully created to reflect the couple’s story, personality and vision.
