Description
The Coppermines Mountain Wedding Venue is a beautiful, unique & incredible setting for any wedding – but don’t just take our word for it! Our venue has been named as one of only three finalists in Cumbria Tourism’s Wedding Venue of the Year 2022.
With magnificent views to the Coniston fells above & Coniston Water in the valley below, our unique & exclusive venue is set amongst bubbling becks, thundering waterfalls and rugged crags. What’s more, our newly restored heritage waterwheel creates an iconic silhouette against the landscape, contributing to the distinctive atmosphere of this exceptional location.
What we have here is pretty special. The venue is situated within a Site of Special Scientific Interest, is listed as a Scheduled Ancient Monument and to top it all off sits in the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Coppermines Mountain Wedding Venue is a family owned wedding venue in the English Lake District and we are proud to welcome couples year upon year to celebrate their incredible day. Set in the heart of the majestic Coppermines Valley our venue is licensed for both civil ceremonies and civil partnerships in our Copper Wedding Barn (seating up to 120 guests) and we have been holding weddings here since 2004. From arrival, the venue is exclusively yours and you have the freedom to decide how you wish your celebration to unfold. There are no set timetables and your occasion can be as unique as desired. We can guarantee that no two weddings held at The Coppermines are ever the same.
Given the unique setting, the Coppermines Valley offers a beautiful backdrop whatever the season and provides numerous outdoor opportunities for wedding photographs.
The venue features four warm & welcoming cottages which interlink to form one large house, sleeping up to 22 people, with further accommodation available nearby. There’s four reception rooms, 10 en-suite bedrooms and even four outdoor hot tubs for your private use.

- GGary Mills, Wedding DJ and Host06/10/2023What a venue and what an experience! What a venue and what an experience!There are Wedding Venues and then there are Coppermines Mountain Weddings at Coniston! I had my own team of Sherpas to get me halfway up the mountain for Heather and Anthony's Wedding Day. Brackens Of Bowness had done a simply stunning job of decorating the Tipis and I cannot wait to see the pictures my old pal Eftal from Ladybirds Photography took on the day. A big shout out to David from Blue Bird Tours who ferried me up to the Coppermines and back again.There are Wedding Venues and then there are Coppermines Mountain Weddings at Coniston!
