About

The Glade provides the most gorgeous wedding venue set against the woodlands in Swadlincote, Derbyshire. Situated within the Roliston Forestry area, it presents you with a number of spots perfect for photography and an enchanting ceremony.

Facilities and capacities

Say “I do” at the pagoda, a licensed ceremony site, or you could exchange your vows in the lap of Mother Nature. Although the setting is suited for an outdoor, rustic event, the crisp white marquee setup is akin to a blank canvas. You can put your own stamp on it and bring to life the wedding of your dreams. The venue can accommodate both small and large events, anywhere from 30-250 guests.

Services Offered

The tranquility of this space is only rivalled by the services the venue extends. A dedicated on-site wedding and venue manager can tweak your ideas and oversee every detail to make it a once-in-a-lifetime celebration. They offer you a day prior to set up and the day following for tear down. They also have a list of trusted vendors that you can browse through if you are looking for florists, photographers, DJs, or wedding dress suppliers. Furthermore, they have a range of outdoor activities that can help you fill up your wedding weekend itinerary. There are also some woodland lodges located within the site which are available to hire separately.

Catering

The Glade offers a wedding breakfast too and can provide all the refreshments and beverages courtesy of their built-in Saffron House Bar. The resident culinary team will also put their best foot forward to serve up delicious three-course meals. From BBQs to Paella to hog roasts, Saffron Catering will tailor menus to accommodate tastes, preferences, and budgets. You can also take advantage of the complimentary menu tasting that they provide.

Highly Recommended

My husband and I got married at the Glade in 2021. The staff couldn't have been more helpful during the process. We had to reschedule twice because of the pandemic and the staff were understanding and flexible. The venue was a beautiful mix of warm indoor space in the marquee and open space surrounded by the woods. The pavilion for the ceremony added a wonderful touch. As the Glade also partnered with Saffron Catering, organising the food was made simple, with plenty of options to choose from. The Rosliston Forestry Centre cabins adjacent to the venue made a lovely place for us to stay for a few nights around the wedding itself so we didn't have to worry about travel on the day, and had a private place to relax amidst all the hype. Highly recommended!

Magical in every way!

We could not have asked for a better day and better service. The forest setting was our ideal location and all of the staff were impeccable - excellent communication, commitment to detail and they totally got the whole vibe we were going for. We had Afternoon Tea and it’s one of the best I’ve ever tasted - and I’ve had a lot of Afternoon Teas at some fancy places! - and our guests are still talking about the evening food! We couldn’t have asked for anything more, other than the opportunity to do it every day!"
