About Heathy Lea
Imagine your wedding set against the breathtaking backdrop of Chatsworth's parkland in the Peak District. Heathy Lea offers this stunning setting, providing a flexible outdoor space perfect for both ceremonies and receptions. Picture your celebration unfolding on manicured lawns, and a marquee to create a truly personalised atmosphere.
Enjoy exclusive use of Heathy Lea for three nights (Friday to Monday) as part of the wedding package, giving you ample time to craft your dream wedding, whether it's an intimate gathering or a grand celebration. With a hand-picked selection of trusted suppliers, everything from magnificent marquees to stunning floral arrangements can be arranged to bring your vision to life. Extend the celebrations with a leisurely Sunday stroll to nearby Chatsworth House, a beautiful 30-minute walk away.
Licensed for marriages and civil ceremonies, Heathy Lea's grounds and charming summerhouse provide idyllic locations for your vows. Choose to say "I do" outdoors on the picturesque lawns or within the delightful summerhouse. Personalize your ceremony further by incorporating a tipi or marquee.
After the ceremony, guests can enjoy champagne and canapés while soaking in the panoramic parkland views. The celebration then continues across the lush lawns to your chosen marquee or tipi, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening of dining, toasts, and dancing under the stars.
Heathy Lea comfortably accommodates up to 24 guests in four beautifully appointed self-catering cottages and five charming Shepherd’s Huts. This allows for a relaxed extended stay, perfect for brunches, scenic walks through Chatsworth's picturesque landscape, or exploring the local towns.
Conveniently located just a 10-minute drive from Grindleford and 20 minutes from the larger station at Chesterfield, Heathy Lea ensures easy access for all your guests. Additionally, Heathy Lea is accessible to all guests, including those with mobility impairments and wheelchair users. The terrain includes a mix of grass, gravel, and flagstone, with step-free access to the top lawn and scenic 12-step access to the bottom lawn.
