About

The West Mill is a wonderful Grade I listed former industrial mill that dates back to the early 1800s. After becoming derelict, the mill was carefully restored and shows off its original industrial architecture making for a wonderfully unique wedding venue. Originally built as a cotton spinning mill, this building played an important role in the industrial revolution.

The interior features barrel-vaulted ceilings, exposed brick walls, cast iron columns and beams making it a stunning space to celebrate with your family and friends.

Positioned on the idyllic riverbank of the River Derwent, The West Mill is near the breath-taking waterfalls of the historic weir.
