Our Ceremony in Edensor

Saturday 13th June 2026

Getting There

St Peter’s Church

Our legal ceremony will take place at St Peter’s Church, Edensor, a small village church set within the Chatsworth Estate.

Edensor is located just outside Bakewell, in the heart of the Peak District. The village is easily accessible and well signposted from the surrounding area.

Directions to the church can be found here:
St Peter’s Church, 1 Jap Lane, Edensor, DE45 1PH

By car

Parking in Edensor village is very limited, but plenty of additional parking is available on the Chatsworth Estate, with a short walk to the church (15 minutes). We recommend allowing a little extra time for parking and arrival, particularly on a summer weekend!

By public transport

Edensor is served by the 218 bus route, which runs between Sheffield and Bakewell, stopping at Chatsworth and Edensor along the way. The bus stops just outside the church.

The 218 runs regularly throughout the day and is a convenient option for guests travelling from Sheffield, Bakewell, or nearby villages. Journey times vary depending on where you join the route, so we recommend checking the timetable in advance and allowing a little extra time on the day!

You can view the full timetable here:

For return journeys, please note that services become less frequent in the early evening. If you’re planning to stay on later, we recommend checking final bus times in advance or arranging a taxi.

Thornbridge Brewery Taproom

After the ceremony, we’ll be heading to Thornbridge Brewery Taproom in Bakewell for drinks and a celebratory toast.

Guests will need to make their own way there, and the journey from Edensor to Bakewell takes approximately 10 minutes by car, or a short bus or taxi ride.

Directions to the taproom can be found here:
Thornbridge Brewery Taproom, Riverside Brewery, Bakewell, DE45 1GS

By car

The journey from Edensor to the taproom takes approximately 10 minutes by car. Plenty of free parking is available on site at Thornbridge, as well as additional parking nearby in Bakewell if required (just remember to pop your car registration in the taproom iPad when you arrive)!

By public transport

Guests travelling by bus can continue to use the 218 route, which runs between Sheffield and Bakewell, stopping in Bakewell itself. It’s approximately a 30 minute journey, including a 10 minute walk from the bus stop, for those wanting to enjoy a tipple (or two)!

As services become less frequent later in the afternoon and early evening, we recommend checking return times in advance or planning alternative transport if you intend to stay on.

About the Day

  • About Edensor and Chatsworth

    Edensor is often described as one of the most beautiful villages in the Peak District. Nestled within the Chatsworth Estate, it’s filled with charming cottages, rolling green hills, and views across the valley. With its stone church, village green, and timeless character, it’s the perfect place to begin our marriage. If you have time before or after the ceremony, it’s well worth taking a short walk around the village or exploring the nearby Chatsworth grounds.

  • Ceremony - 1pm

    Our legal wedding ceremony will take place at 1:00pm in St Peter’s Church, a beautiful stone church set within the Chatsworth Estate. The service will last about 45 minutes (get practicing those hymns)!

    Please arrive by 12:30 pm to allow time for parking and to take your seats for 12:45pm. There’s a tearoom just around the corner if you fancy a pre-ceremony cuppa!

    We would love for you to join us as we exchange our vows in this special and personal setting, before continuing the celebrations nearby.

  • Toast - 2:30pm

    After the service in Edensor, we’d love for you to join us from 2:30 pm for a relaxed afternoon reception just a short drive away.

    We’ll be heading to the Thornbridge Brewery Taproom, where we’ll gather for drinks, conversation, and a celebratory toast together. It’s a laid-back setting and the perfect opportunity to celebrate straight after the ceremony - unhurried, informal, and full of good company.

    Think of it as a light and joyful afternoon: raising a glass, catching up, and spending time together in true English summer style. While food and drinks won’t be provided, pizzas are available to order at the taproom, and we’ve hired plenty of tables and chairs so there’s space to sit, relax, and enjoy the afternoon.

    We’d love for you to come along and celebrate with us.

  • Carriages - 5:30pm

    Our time together will gently draw to a close at 5:30 pm, when the afternoon celebrations come to an end and we begin our onward journey.

    After sharing drinks and a celebratory toast at the Taproom, we’ll say our goodbyes and head off, bringing this special day to a close. If you’d like to continue your evening, you’re very welcome to make your own dinner plans.

    It’s a lovely opportunity to linger a little longer in the village or explore the surrounding Peak District at your own pace, should you wish. However you choose to spend the rest of the evening, we’re so grateful you were able to join us and celebrate such a meaningful day.
