Amazing countryside location, lots of beautiful walks and amenities close by. Plenty of space in the hall and barns, clean, warm and welcoming! Would definitely recommend.

A perfect location for a wedding, plenty of room for all the guests - to be sociable and dance in, and to hide away in! Comfortable beds, warm rooms, and 2 kitchens for self catering and coffee!

Had the most wonderful weekend in this accommodation for a friends fairytale wedding. 90 people from all over the world converged and we laughed, danced and drank our way into the night. Facilities excellent, blazing wood burners, underfloor heating and super comfy beds. Exactly what we all wanted. Can’t recommend this enough for group bookings who value an intimate and unique environment for celebrating special events. The hot tubs were the icing on the cake! 10/10 would stay again. 🎉❤️ sue mills 2024-11-11 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A wonderful place - lots of space - areas to sit quietly and read or talk as well as large rooms where everyone can gather together comfortably on sofas or for dinner. bedrooms are very comfortable and nicely decorated- would recommend for get together with friends or family for a few days - plenty of space so you are not all on top of each other all the time. Kitchens well equipped and a couple of pubs in walking distance if you don’t want to cook - nearly forgot the hot tubs were perfect for relaxing Yvonne Memory 2024-11-11 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I recommend Hamps Hall and Barns 100%. Go you won’t be disappointed. Bridget Jones 2024-11-06 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Recently hired Hamps Hall & Barn for my 50th birthday party.
From the moment of enquiry, to viewing, booking and several visits to help plan the weekend smoothly, the team at Hamps Hall & Barn were just so helpful & accommodating.
The Hall & Barn are in a fabulous setting with plenty of parking, and stunning views of the Peak District. Lots of great walking opportunities, and a large field for outdoor activities along with 2 hot tubs, outside seating & lighting. The venue boasts 18 bedrooms across, double, twin, triple & quad rooms. There’s 2 great kitchens with an array of equipment you would expect to find in this type of venue and 2 dishwashers, 4 ovens and 2 large fridge freezers, a further large fridge and a smaller fridge freezer. The property also has an outdoor and indoor bar space and a games room. It has a large lounge and dining room for entertaining and a smaller cosy lounge and dining space for more casual enjoyment.
Heating wasn’t an issue, plenty of tables and chairs to create your own entertaining space and layout.
A fabulous place to hire for gatherings and celebrations. Highly recommended.
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!
