Edale Gathering

The team at The Gathering worked night and day to make our VERY last minute, Covid-rearranged wedding happen. We can’t thank enough. Not only did they bend over backwards to make our day perfect, their venue is incredible. Beautiful buildings and accommodation, incredible setting, quiet, secluded, clean, warm, well-equipped. Absolutely everything you could ask for and more.

What a stunning location, beautiful views, great luxury safari tents. If you think a tent is cold and damp, you haven’t been here. The antique furniture and odd non matching chairs and sofas simply add a friendly warmth to the ambiance. A great iron log burning stove crackles as the sound of the babbling stream behind your tent guarantees a great sleep. We had days of sunshine, rain and wind and loved them all.

Can’t wait to go back!

After being foiled by COVID for a few years, we finally managed to hold our wedding event at The Gathering in Edale a fortnight ago. The location is perfect, the facilities are outstanding, and the staff/owners are really helpful. We had a fantastic couple of days. Thank you to Lesley, Geoff and all of the staff for their support and for making our wedding day special.

Perfect! I love the place. We stayed over for a Christmas break.

Amazing stay in July for our family (our children are 12 and 14 years old). The safari tent was magical - nestled in the beautiful hills of Edale with rolling hills in front and a babbling stream in the woods behind. It is so comfortable and well equipped and daily visits from Geoff and Mike topped up the firewood and gave us plenty ideas of where to go each day. No Wifi and no mobile signal in Edale meant it really was a break from the world and we loved every minute!
With so many walks from Edale, a handy train station, a village shop and 2 lovely pubs in the village, the location is so convenient and you can forget about your car if you want to.
The Peak District is packed with plenty of walks, lovely villages, super pubs and restaurants, activities and attractions. We highly recommend it for a family holiday.

Amazing safari tents that were warm and dry despite freezing temperatures even in May! The team were so friendly and welcoming and bent over backwards to make our weekend what we wanted it to be. Couldn't recommend the idyllic location enough. You get what you pay for and more here! We've all said we'll be back with our families in tow soon!

Posh camping - if you want hot water in quantity you have to light a wood fired boiler but otherwise it's just like a cabin with canvas walls and roof. We had lovely weather so the patio area and BBQ were well used. Comfortable beds and lounge area. Essential supplies - wood for stoves and paraffin for lamps - and boxes of matches - are topped up daily by very helpful and friendly staff. Be prepared for the noises that go with real camping though - the babbling brook, the wind in the trees and the bleating of sheep throughout the night.
Will situated for station, village and walks but make sure that you bring plenty of food with you as the range of products in local shops is somewhat limited. It's a great place and perfect for family holidays.

Probably in my top 3 wedding venues to work at. Such an amazing versatile space. Tommy the owner is very accomadating. We provide staff, neon signs and mobile bars.
