Upper House Estate

Located on 30 acres of woodland is The Upper Estate House, a castle wedding venue situated in Derbyshire, England. This venue is a one-of-a-kind hunting lodge nestled in the heart of the National Trust Kinder Estate. This 15th-century medieval estate provides you with a unique opportunity to host a fully exclusive wedding in the privacy of the countryside. The Upper Estate House has since been restored to give you the best of both worlds with its historical touches and contemporary finish. Enjoy a romantic celebration in the quiet moorlands at this intimate castle wedding venue.
