About Heathy Lea

Welcome to Heathy Lea, a former Game Keeper's
cottage set in the heart of The Peak District National
Park. Embraced by the serene beauty of Chatsworth's
1000-acre parkland.

Heathy Lea offers a versatile outdoor space, allowing
you to host your ceremony, reception or both, all
within our picturesque surroundings.
The grounds along with our beautiful Summer House,
hold licences for both marriages and civil ceremonies.
With Chatsworth’s parkland as your ceremony
backdrop, our picture perfect lawns can host either a
tipi or a marquee structure, offering you the flexibility
to shape your celebration in a way that suits your
unique vision and preferences. After your chosen ceremony, let the champagne flow
as your guests sip on their welcome drinks and soak
in the magnificent parkland views. From there, guide
them effortlessly across our lush lawns where they'll
arrive at your selected marquee or tipi. Here the
scene is set for an unforgettable evening of dining,
toasting, and dancing that can carry on well into the
night.
