Relaxed, yet exquisite, celebrations at The High Force High Hotel & Waterfall

Parties and celebrations should be beautiful and fun, not full of stress and formality. The High Force Hotel has launched a bespoke range of celebration packages, designed to ensure your special event is filled with nothing but happiness.

From weddings to birthdays, from anniversaries to retirements, High Force offers a relaxed feel, with all of the service you might expect from such a popular venue.

For those looking for a more laissez-faire event, yet with beautiful, thoughtful attention to detail, High force is the perfect spot. Think tying the knot during Sunday lunch with family and friends or waving goodbye to a long career at a sumptuous dinner party with much loved colleagues. This country inn provides the perfect backdrop for you to enjoy your celebration and then fall into restful sleep in your luxurious accommodation, only a few steps away from the party.

At High Force there are no rules or traditions to follow. Do it your way and enjoy every moment.
