From the initial viewing to the day itself, we’re here to take care of you and you not only leave as newlyweds but friends too.
The West Mill is a magnificent Grade I Listed former industrial mill dating back to the early 1800’s. The mill has been restored and converted into a beautiful wedding venue creating a magnificent setting for your wedding day.
Originally built as a cotton spinning mill, the building played an important part in the history of the Industrial Revolution. Having laid empty and derelict the four-storey building has been lovingly restored back to life.
The mill’s renovation has retained all of the industrial architecture of the 1800’s and is positioned in a superb setting on the riverbanks of the River Derwent. Inside, think barrel-vaulted ceilings, exposed brick walls, cast iron columns and beams, with breath-taking views of the weir.
The West Mill Venue is an exclusive use venue, licensed for civil weddings and wedding receptions. This means that The West Mill is yours for the day from 11am right the way through to midnight.
You and your guests will have exclusive use of our Venue and we guarantee that the only people on the grounds of The West Mill will be your guests and our wedding team.
Our catering partners share our commitment to excellence and integrity and will discuss the cost of your individual requirements openly and clearly. You are free to pick and choose elements from suggested menus or work with our well-respected catering team to design your own bespoke menu. Your wedding breakfast is cooked in our kitchen onsite and all produce is sourced locally where possible.
The West Mill is a no corkage venue which means you can bring your own drinks for the daytime reception and wedding breakfast, without a corkage charge. All standard glassware, ice and props are included as well as a fully staffed team to prepare and serve your drinks.
Our exclusive accommodation consists of eight en-suite double bedrooms (sleeping sixteen adults and up to five children). All styled by West Mill Venue signature style. The Grade II listed Mill House was originally constructed in 1799 as the Mill Managers House. Sadly, the building had not been used since the 1970s and was in need of major renovation.
Combining the Georgian architecture of the 1800s with the industrial style of The West Mill, we have carefully restored the building into a boutique house to accommodate you and your guests on your wedding night.

All the staff and coordinators are amazing, we can’t wait for our special day!
Despite being conveniently located near Derby city centre, the site is nestled next to a huge park, overlooks the river and comes with 8 rooms accommodation on the day. Inside, the decor is all dark woods and vintage leather couches which leave huge potential to either brighten with white florals and greenery or go full gothic with your colour scheme.
The styling team (and in-house catering team) have also been nothing short of amazing despite the challenges of the current Covid situation and have offered unparallelled support - even when answered the daftest of questions.
Hands down cannot find a fault. And that's even before they ramp up their assistance as we get closer to our big day!
