Civil Ceremonies

There are 2 areas at Gradbach Mill that are licenced for civil ceremonies. There is an
additional charge of £650 to make use of the civil ceremonies licence & you would need to
liaise with, book & pay for the local registrar independently.

The Riverside Gazebo
Primarily utilised as an outdoor café area during the summer season for passing walkers,
the riverside gazebo is the closest to an outdoor venue you’re likely to find in England
under the current laws where a legal civil ceremony can take place.
The couple, witnesses & registrar will be under the roof of the gazebo with your guests
either seated or standing in & around the gazebo and the surrounding area.
Suitable chairs or benches can be hired for guest seating or you may chose to utilise the
existing furniture used in the day to day café operation. You may choose to decorate the
area with flowers, bunting, fairy lights or just choose to leave the area plain with it’s solid
oak structure & age old stone flag flooring.
After the ceremony, our team can serve you and your guests drinks & canapés at the
gazebo, a perfect opportunity for some stunning photographs before retiring to the Mill
for the remainder of the event.

The Silk Room
Within the Mill but separate from the main event space, the silk room can seat up to 50
guests with additional guests standing. Perfect for a winter ceremony or an alternative
on a wet day. A room with lots of natural light and a blank canvas for you to decorate to
your taste with entry doors from the inside & outside so you can choose the entrance
you’d like to make.

Other Options
If you don’t want a legal civil ceremony there are other outdoor options for a ceremony
with a privately arranged celebrate including our riverside orchard. Any ceremony that
takes place at the riverside gazebo would incur the equivalent to the licence fee above.
