The Kedleston

Our story at the Kedleston begins in March 2020, when we finally got the keys to this gorgeous 18th Century home away from home… just in time for a global pandemic! Not an ideal way to start our Kedleston journey. But after many lockdowns and restrictions, we were finally able to open the doors to host weddings for our wonderful couples.

Not only that, but we also have an award-winning restaurant and bar for a la carte dining, as well a 5 boutique bedrooms in our B&B, which won Channel 4’s ‘Four in a Bed’! We also love a good event - whether it’s our Summer Garden Parties, or Bonfire Night fireworks in the Autumn - our family-run retreat welcomes you with open arms.

The House

A family home set in the historic Kedleston Estate in Derbyshire, this stunning Georgian house is quintessentially English, with charming characteristics and rolling countryside views.

Built in 1762, The Kedleston Country House was designed by renowned architect Robert Adam while he was working on his grandest design - Kedleston Hall. He went on to become one of the most successful, fashionable, and inspirational architects in the country.

The Orangery

Boasting beautiful views over our gardens and the Kedleston Estate, the Orangery is a modern and dreamy setting for any celebration. With adjoining patio, a glass skylight allowing for the most incredible natural lighting, and easy access to our outdoor bar in the Summer months, the Orangery can seat up to 70 guests for a Civil Ceremony and host 120 for an Evening Reception.

The Dining Room

The Dining Room - with its high set windows and traditional features - is an idyllic intimate space for your ceremony or wedding breakfast, hosting up to 50 guests.

With interiors inspired by the surrounding countryside, and most upcycled vintage furniture, you’ll certainly feel cosy in this setting.

The Bedrooms

Make the most of your special occasion by staying over for the night. With five beautifully decorated boutique bedrooms, you and your guests can swap your dancing shoes for our luxurious robes and slippers, and enjoy the home comforts and luxuries that The Kedleston Country House can offer.

Our bridal suite is the perfect size for a Bride and her Bridal Party to prepare for the day ahead.

The following morning, guests can enjoy a freshly cooked breakfast in our dining room, reminiscing about the day before…

The Gardens

Weddings at The Kedleston Country House are great at any time of year, and with our vast outdoor space, you can really extend the space available to your guests.

In the Summer months, guests often play games on our lawns, and can also have access to our outdoor bar.

Whereas for less fortunate weather and colder months, our indoor snug is the perfect place to retreat - with the roaring fire and cosy furniture making it a great spot to relax.
