The Courtyard & Upper Barn

Eyam Hall Courtyard

Following the ceremony, we'll celebrate with drinks in the courtyard, an afternoon wedding meal in the Upper Barn, speeches and dancing into the evening. Expect good food, good company and good music.

Our wedding meal menu is fully vegetarian and plant-based. Please let us know on your RSVP if you have any other dietary requirements.

Good to Know

A Few Notes from the Venue

A handful of house rules from Eyam Hall, so nothing comes as a surprise on the day:

  • The courtyard — Eyam Hall is open to the public during the day, so you may spot other visitors around the courtyard during drinks and photographs. It's ours exclusively from 5 pm, once the Hall closes for the day.
  • Confetti & sparklers — natural petal confetti (fresh or dried) is welcome outside, but please leave plastic confetti at home — the venue charges a £100 fee for it. Sparklers are also welcome outside; Chinese lanterns and drones aren't permitted.
  • Children — little ones are very welcome. The grounds include a water feature, so we'd ask parents to keep an eye on them.
  • Four-legged friends — well-behaved dogs are welcome by prior arrangement. Please let us know in advance if you'd like to bring one.
  • Smoking — designated outdoor areas only, including e-cigarettes. All indoor spaces are non-smoking.
  • Bar — drinks are on us from the end of the ceremony through to the end of the wedding meal. After that, the bar switches to pay-as-you-go by cash or card for the evening celebration.
  • End of the night — music finishes at 11.30 pm and the bar closes at midnight, by which time everyone needs to have headed off. There's no Uber out in the Peaks, so please pre-book your taxi — see our Getting Here page.
