A beautiful 17th
century manor house, Eyam Hall has been the home
of the Wright family for over 300 years.
Opened
to the public in 1992, it retains the intimate
atmosphere of a much loved private home. Few
houses offer such character and charm as Eyam
Hall. Under the watchful gaze of the Wright
ancestors' portraits, you will find a beautiful
stone flagged hall, a unique tapestry room, the
bedroom with a magnificent tester bed. Other
rooms reveal costumes belonging to family members,
precious artefacts and fascinating family
mementos. Observant visitors may even come
across the ghostly apparition of Sarah Mills, a
young servant girl, who drowned herself in the
well and still answers the night bell!
The walled garden is nearing the end of a
restoration project and visitors can delight in
the knot garden, the avenue of espaliered apple
trees and the rose walk.
Weddings
Eyam Hall is an enchanting family home, full of
warmth and character, making it the perfect venue
for an intimate civil wedding (40 guests maximum).
Here you are given the personal attention and
choice to select exactly what you dream of for
your wedding day. As well as the ceremony itself,
we can offer a small wedding reception in our
lovely gallery room or a much larger reception in
our marquee area adjacent to the beautiful
gardens. We can also offer the dining room for an
intimate wedding breakfast for up to 16 people.
The
hall, where the civil ceremony is held is a
charming room, bathed in sunlight during the
summer and made cosy by the flickering flames of a
log fire in the winter. Family portraits adorn the
walls and two rare 17th century bacon settles
flank the fireplace. The Bechstein grand piano and
a pianist are available if you would like music as
part of the ceremony. You can get ready in our Tapestry
Room and make your entrance down the Jacobean oak
staircase. After the ceremony photographs can be
taken using the historic garden as a stunning
backdrop.
Wedding parties of up to 40 can be served in the
gallery room, a romantic listed building complete
with beams. Alternatively, for a larger party our
garden croft can be booked for a marquee
reception. This area has stunning views of the
countryside and you and your guests will have use
of the historic garden throughout.
