MEET THE TEAM
Grangefields, Derbyshire's newest nuptial haunt is redefining modern marriages to breathtaking avail – with a glistening barn-style venue that epitomises rustic luxury. Here we catch up with owner Ed and manager Tim to uncover the palpable magic that lies within its walls.
Your favourite area of the venue, and why?
The Dutch Barn is an amazing space as the scale of the building is so impressive. Both ends have a focal point; the seven-metre long bar at one end and the open kitchen at the other.
Something Grangefields has that other venues don’t?
A huge, covered veranda so your whole wedding party can drink Champagne in the rain and the show kitchen with BBQ, pizza oven and rotisserie.
THE VIBE:
SLEEK, STYLISH & SECLUDED
Why Derbyshire?
Derbyshire is a beautiful county with lots of amazing pubs and restaurants. Situated bang in the middle of the UK, it is so easy to get to by car, train (to Derby) or plane (to East Midlands).
