The Gem at the Heart of the Peak

Tucked away in the Peak District’s wild rolling hills lies the Tissington Estate.

Eight generations of the FitzHerbert family have lived in this beautiful Jacobean Mansion, which presides over a quintessentially English village, complete with duck pond and village green.

This is the perfect venue for a fairytale wedding, garden opera, private party or exclusive corporate event.

Whatever the occasion, Tissington Hall is a beautiful backdrop with a timeless atmosphere all of its own.

Tissington Hall is an intimate and romantic setting for the most important day of your life.  The Hall is only offered on an exclusive basis and our policy of only hosting one event per weekend allows you the luxury of visiting the Hall the day before the wedding to bring table names and check that everything is exactly as you wish.

Our licence allows couples to marry in the panelled Main Hall, East and West Drawing Rooms or outdoor Terrace Pavilion, just beneath the scented Rose Gardens.

Celebrate afterwards in the oak panelled opulence of our dining room or under canvas in our extensive grounds which include: a private ten-acre arboretum, lawns, terraces and stunning rose gardens.

With years of experience, our dedicated team will work around the clock to ensure your special day runs smoothly.

Summer Weddings

As the warm evening sunshine sets slowly over the arboretum, the heady scent of roses lingers in the gardens. The background tinkle of champagne glasses and the lilting notes from a string quartet create a magical atmosphere.

Begin your reception in either of the two drawing rooms in the seventeenth century part of the Hall and let your guests spill out into the gardens where we can cater for up to 350 guests with our carefully designed marquees.

NEW!  The Pink Bedroom Suite is now available to get ready in. We also have a special Bridal Suite within the village. 

Winter Weddings

Roaring log fires and candlelight make Tissington a cosy oasis of warmth and light on the bleakest of winter’s days.

Winter weddings tend to be for smaller groups. Up to 24 guests can be accommodated in our private dining room or up to 64 in the Main Hall.

Your guests will immediately feel at home as they stroll around the hall and soak up four centuries of family history.

The Pink Bedroom Suite is now available to get ready in. We also have a special Bridal Suite within the village. 

Testimonials

Tissington Hall was absolutely the right choice as our wedding venue; it is stylish, has character, charm yet is also intimate and welcoming. No other venue in the Midlands comes close as far as I'm concerned, it was an easy choice.  We felt like film stars all day. The fact that the rain didn't put a dampner on the occasion is tantamount to the beautiful rooms at Tissington, and the wonderful setting.'
Louise and Dan, 2008.

'Christina and I would like to thank you and the staff at Tissington Hall for making our Wedding such a memorable occasion.
The venue for the Wedding ceremony was superb, hitting the right note of formality and grandeur in a warm and gloriously sun filled room. Lunch in the dining room was magical, it was a truly spectacular setting and the food was superb.  Most important of all though was the help and attention from you and the staff on the day.  Everyone worked very hard and kept a discreet and careful eye on proceedings.  We’ve had a lot of comments from guests regarding how well they were looked after on the day by you and the staff and we really appreciated how much that made the day go so well.
We’ll always remember our Wedding at Tissington Hall, and thank you again for giving us a memory to treasure.'
Christina and Mike, 2008.

All requests were willingly accommodated and arrangements well taken care of, leaving us free to enjoy our special day.

We highly recommend this beautiful and unique historic hall. Thank you Sir Richard and team!'
