EXCELLENT Based on 97 reviews Danielle Rose 2023-05-28 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This place was the most perfect location for our wedding, (not legal) we had all our family and friends around us for the whole weekend, the amenities are above and beyond, Angela was at the end of the phone when ever we had a question or query. We had a fish and chip van for the evening ( kk catering) the outdoor and indoor spaces are amazing, something for everyone old or young. We loved it so very much thank you hamps hall and Barns for making it the very best wedding Heather Fowler 2023-05-18 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Hamps Hall and Barn - Well what can i say...........I took a party of 40 to this beautiful venue, everyone had a brilliant time. I was celebrating my 50th birthday. The rooms were fantastic- very spacious and clean. It was a great get-away from London. I have nothing negative to say about this venue - 10/10 to party house. Will definitely stay again. Perfect location for a celebration to be held at. It's been almost a week since we came back and the excitement is still there with everyone.

Weddings at Hamps Hall and Barn
Hamps Hall & Barn makes a splendid Staffordshire wedding reception venue. Celebrate your wedding in the quintessential British countryside and have a blast in the company of your loved ones. Tucked away in stunning Peak District, you will find magical backdrops for photos and lots of space for your big day. This historic house features great facilities that will ensure you and your guests will have a lovely stay.
Even though this Peak District wedding venue does not come with a wedding license, there are a number of places in the area where you can hold your ceremony including a beautiful church. Follow this with a reception party in the house. You can choose to do an outdoor alfresco party in the beautiful grounds or use the 50-foot long reception room which is perfect for parties. There is also a BBQ area. 40 of your guests can stay overnight and up to 80 extra day guests are welcome (£15 each, and can stay until Midnight). Furthermore, the dining area can easily seat 60 guests, however, this must be requested in advance as it is usually arranged for 48 guests.
If you wish you can use the field to put up a marque (if so please vacate it by midnight).
Bespoke Wedding Receptions
Hire a professional caterer to take care of your gourmet meals or choose to prepare your own meals by hiring a self-catered stay. The choice is yours! Many of our couples decide to bring in a caterer for a couple of nights and self-cater on other nights. Best part? We do not charge corkage fees at this Staffordshire wedding venue!
Choose to stay an entire week or just a weekend. No matter your decision, we’re sure hiring a large house like this will save you some cash over hiring a traditional wedding venue. You will also be able to stretch the party and fun! There is plenty of parking for all of your guests. Our spacious gardens will not only enable you to set up a big marquee but also to organise fun activities. Your guests will be entertained with our on-site games room with table tennis and table football. If you need to keep the kids occupied, do not worry we assure you that they will fall in love with the Xbox snug.
And don’t forget to get a photographer who will document your memories! If you’re looking for some lovely photographers familiar with the venue, you can reach out to Simon Atkins, Paul Jarrett, or Lisa Wildgoose, depending on the photography style you like!

Hold your after-hours Staffordshire wedding reception by taking advantage of the Large Reception Room or the Dining Room. Please note external speakers are strictly not allowed, but we have our own amazing set up that DJ’s can connect to.
At Hamps Hall & Barn, we want to ensure that all guests have a time to remember including your pooches! This Peak District accommodation is pet-friendly so that your entire family can celebrate your special day with you. You’ll love exploring the Peak District with your dog.
Furthermore, it is also an accessible-friendly accommodation meaning guests with mobility disabilities as well as guests on normal-sized wheelchairs will also be comfortable.
For extra guests you can also rent out Merrymeet (sleeping 16 guests), which is just a 2-minute drive or a 10 minute walk from Hamps Hall and Barn.
