The Samuel Worth Chapel is a beautiful and intimate venue set in the heart of a nature reserve. Designed by Samuel Worth in 1836, the building was completely restored in 2016 winning a Georgian Group Award. Its grand entrance leads you into a simple and elegant interior, flooded with natural light. What's more, the fine architecture set against the wooded hillside provides a stunning backdrop for those all-important photos. Hire of this venue supports the work of Sheffield General Cemetery Trust who look after the site for everyone to enjoy.

The Chapel is surrounded by the picture-perfect meandering wilderness of Sheffield General Cemetery, a historical Georgian garden cemetery designed by Robert Marnock. The grounds are a haven for wildlife and there's a unique photo opportunity to be found around every corner.
Ceremonies are held in the Main Hall for 60 people including the two of you, guests, any performers and staff. The Chapel is offered on a dry hire basis meaning you're free to enlist any suppliers you choose. The events team can recommend a wide range of fabulous service providers from florist to caterers, event designers to wedding planners.

The venue is fully accessible with blue badge parking by arrangement. It has a small kitchen with serving hatch, two toilets, one of which is wheelchair accessible, heated tiled floor, eight large round tables, 60 folding chairs and two rectangular trestle tables.

Also available is a range of good quality audio visual items to hire. Also on site is a gorgeous holiday cottage available to hire for your guests, or as a special place to stay before or after your wedding. The Sexton's Lodge is in the portico of the Grade II listed Gatehouse to Sheffield General Cemetery, and has been furnished with 19th-century antiques and offers a cosy, quiet retreat.
