About Royle Forest

Nestled in the heart of a 200-acre forest on the border of Derbyshire and Staffordshire, a Royle wedding is unlike any other. Captivate guests with an intimate ceremony amongst the trees, before toasting to love in a tipi under the stars. Uncover the magic at Royle Forest, for an enchanting celebration straight out of a fairytale.

If you're looking for a wedding venue that feels truly magical, Royle Forest offers an unforgettable experience set in the heart of a 200-acre ancient woodland on the Derbyshire–Staffordshire border. From the moment you arrive through hand-crafted swan gates and follow the enchanted forest walkway, the venue immerses you in nature, atmosphere, and charm. It’s an ideal choice for couples who want something different from the traditional wedding setting—a place where every turn feels like stepping into a fairytale.

Our venue is designed to protect and celebrate its natural surroundings, with initiatives like planting 30 trees for every wedding booked, plus local and sustainable sourcing, including our beer partnership with Thornbridge Brewery. You can have the wedding of your dreams while knowing you're minimising environmental impact.

Royle Forest is truly unique. Your ceremony can take place in a rustic stone chapel surrounded by trees, and the celebration continues across 5 stunning tipis, complete with a firepit courtyard, a silo cocktail bar, a snug lounge, and a glowing LED dance floor. Every structure has been carefully curated to blend style with comfort, creating a space that’s both beautiful and functional in any weather.

Our venue pricing is transparent - from tipis and furnishings to lighting, generators, luxury toilets, and your own wedding planner & on-the-day co-ordinator - all of which are included. With no rigid timeline or format, you’re free to shape the day exactly how you want it.

With our on-site accommodation - The Cottage and The Farmhouse, your experience extends beyond just the wedding day.

Above all, what makes Royle Forest truly special is its balance of romance, freedom, and thoughtful detail. Whether it’s the soft festoon lighting, the warm welcome from the team, or the personalised keepsakes provided for every couple, the venue is designed to create a celebration that feels deeply personal, naturally beautiful, and utterly
