Date & Time: Wednesday 10th and Thursday 11th June 2026
A 12th-century manor house on the edge of Sheffield, sitting in six acres of countryside close to the Yorkshire and Derbyshire borders — and a short drive from the Peak District. Mosborough Hall is one of those venues that genuinely has to be seen to land properly, which is exactly why these open days are worth attending.
The self-contained Chatsworth Suite, with its private bar, stone courtyard, pizza oven, and dance floor, sits separately from the main hotel and forms the heart of most weddings here. Ceremonies take place in the Haddon Suite (original wooden beams, formerly the old stables) or outdoors in the licensed Garden Pavilion. With 46 bedrooms on-site and an exclusive one-wedding-per-day policy, the whole place is yours.
Come along on either day to tour the spaces, meet wedding coordinator Kayleigh, and get a feel for whether this is the one.
