Tips on renting a field for a caving event in Derbyshire

[2xw]

Hi folks,

We're looking to host a host a caving event for roughly 300 people in Derbyshire (near the caves preferably) in a field.

If anyone knows any likely field renterers and/or friendly parish councillors, or really any tips, could you drop me a pm?

Thanks kindly
Will

No idea if they are any good but i have seen these advertising - they hold some big events in their fields near Wardlow:

Weddings | Fields For Venues - Peak District | Derbyshire

Could be worth asking some of our existing farmer friends like Perryfoot, Oxlow, Rowter, Peakshill, Greenhills etc.

Farm nr the 3 stags at wardlow does camping in a field. Not sure if that would extend to events. Next to a great pub, café and foolow for a bit of underground mud wallowing.

I’ve seen one near the tractor pull also used for camping, not far away from fatman’s suggestion
Dropped pin

Also what about the campsite in the field to the Orpheus?

That'll be the Peak View campsite - from their website:

I notice they say "Group bookings of 4 or more adults are not permitted" which would exclude this.

I think maybe approaching Rowter would be worthwhile, or ask Nick Williams if there's anywhere round Great Hucklow where the farmer would be amenable? The Bull I'Th Thorn occurred to me as a possibility but I think 300 is way over their capacity.

There must be a way to overcome this objection. 2xw, I’m sure if you sell it to them you might get somewhere.
