Mapperley Farm, Ilkeston - outdoor wedding venue
Mapperley Farm near Ilkeston is the perfect outdoor wedding venue set in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside. If you're looking for privacy and exclusivity coupled with enough space to hold the wedding of your wildest dreams, you've found the ideal outdoor venue.
We have to be upfront and admit that Mapperley Farm Events Venue is one of our favourite venues and there are several reasons for this.
Complete exclusivity
Unlike so many other venues, you won’t have to share your venue and it’s facilities with anyone but your invited guests.
So, no bumping into someone you’d rather avoid or have ‘forgotten’ to invite in the ladies’ loos, and definitely no noise from enthusiastic celebrations in a neighbouring function room.
Space
Located somewhat off-the-beaten track and out of earshot from main roads, you’re only a few minutes’ drive down a country lane, you won’t be disturbed by any traffic noise or light pollution.
Despite its seemingly remote location, the venue is easily accessible and is located just off the A609 between Stanley Common and West Hallam.
The field for your event is incredibly spacious and can easily accommodate tipi tents, large marquees … and even a fun-fair! You can camp or glamp depending on your preference overnight in the field, so your accommodation is only a short walk across the grass.
The amount of space available for your private use has to be one of the main selling points for this beautiful venue.

Your hosts
We don’t quite know where they get their energy from, but your hosts, Rosie and Sam, not only support you with your wedding planning in the run up to your big day and your event management on the day of your wedding, but they also find the time to farm a couple of hundred acres on this idyllic working farm.
Rosie and Sam are continually adding to the range of facilities at Mapperley Farm and the range of services they offer.
In recent years, a woodland gazebo has been added for your wedding ceremony which is only a short stroll from the field where your wedding reception will be held.
Rosie and Sam have extremely high standards and are very particular about which suppliers they work with, so brides can be assured of an exceptional quality of service from any suppliers they recommend.
