Imagine arriving on a Friday afternoon, the rolling parkland of Chatsworth stretching out before you, your closest friends and family gathering for a whole weekend of celebration. At Heathy Lea, weddings aren’t just a day — they’re an experience.

As one of the most picturesque wedding venues in Derbyshire, Heathy Lea is known for its breathtaking setting, relaxed atmosphere and complete flexibility. Couples choose us when they’re searching for outdoor wedding venues in Derbyshire, country wedding venues, or elegant marquee wedding venues where they can truly make the space their own.

What makes Heathy Lea special is the freedom it offers. With exclusive use from Friday to Monday, you have time to settle in, decorate at your own pace, rehearse your ceremony, and enjoy meaningful moments before and after the big day. No rushed timelines — just space to celebrate your way. It’s perfect for couples looking for wedding venues with accommodation or charming self-catering wedding venues that allow everyone to stay together.

You might choose to say your vows outdoors on the sweeping lawns, in the characterful summerhouse, or beneath your beautifully styled tipi or marquee. As a licensed outdoor wedding ceremony venue, the setting feels both intimate and expansive — with panoramic Peak District views as your backdrop.

After the ceremony, guests can sip champagne in the sunshine before moving across the lawns for dining and dancing under the stars. Whether you’re planning a laid-back festival-style celebration or an elegant countryside reception, Heathy Lea offers the versatility couples are looking for in wedding reception venues in Derbyshire.

We’re also known for our warm, supportive approach. While you have the freedom to choose your own style, we provide a trusted network of hand-picked suppliers — from stunning marquees to exceptional florists — helping bring your vision to life while keeping the planning process smooth and enjoyable.

Up to 24 guests can stay on site in four beautifully appointed cottages and five Shepherd’s Huts, making Heathy Lea a sought-after Peak District wedding venue with accommodation. There’s something truly special about gathering for breakfast the morning after, taking a peaceful walk through the parkland, or even strolling to Chatsworth House just 30 minutes away.

Secluded yet accessible — just 10 minutes from Grindleford and 20 minutes from Chesterfield — Heathy Lea combines natural beauty, exclusivity and heartfelt hospitality. It’s why so many couples consider us one of the most memorable Derbyshire wedding venues for a truly personal countryside celebration.
