Chatsworth House named as UK's second favourite winter wedding venue

The Derbyshire stately home came second to Kew Gardens in London in a survey carried out by Protectivity Insurance.

Using a number of seed lists for the most favoured winter wedding locations across Britain, the company analysed a selection of venues on Instagram to discover which ones are the most popular.

Kew Gardens took the top spot with over 400,000 Instagram uses. And Chatsworth House was next in the list, being 'hashtagged' over 75,000 times when it comes to weddings.

Sean Walsh, Marketing Manager from Protectivity Insurance said: “Your wedding day is a day to be remembered, and your venue should be too.

"The venue is extremely important, as ultimately if something goes wrong with your venue, or it’s not quite right, it can have a huge impact on your big day. It’s great to see people exploring beyond the norms to make their day that extra bit special.”
