Amalfi White

Amalfi White is a Victorian building at 50 Derby Road in Melbourne, a market town in Derbyshire, south of Derby. It combines a ballroom, a bar, a restaurant and gardens in one place, and holds weddings and civil ceremonies.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

Amalfi White is a strong fit for couples who want a polished, stylish venue without needing a country house. The ballroom, bar and garden sit together, so ceremony, dinner and party can all happen under one roof with a short walk to the roses. A ground-floor brasserie means the kitchen team is on site, and the space is easy to dress to your own taste. A light, white-and-chandelier look gives photographers an easy canvas, whatever colours you choose.

Ceremonies

The ballroom is set up for ceremonies and has chandeliers and room for a dance floor. A rose garden and landscaped grounds are available for outdoor moments such as photographs and drinks. Smaller weddings can use a private room, which suits an intimate gathering.

Receptions and food

The ballroom comes with tables, chairs, cutlery and glassware. A white bar sits on the first floor beside the ballroom and works well for cocktails and relaxed mingling. The brasserie provides in-house catering, and tastings can be arranged. The room is air conditioned and wheelchair accessible.

Staying

The venue does not list on-site bedrooms. Melbourne has hotels and guest accommodation within a short walk, and Derby and the East Midlands airport area offer further choice.

Getting there and the area

Melbourne is about eight miles south of Derby, with good road links towards Nottingham, Leicester and Burton upon Trent. Nearby Melbourne Hall and its gardens, the market square and the local pubs give guests plenty to do before or after the day. Check parking arrangements with the team when you enquire. The market town has independent shops, cafes and a good selection of pubs, so guests arriving the day before will find plenty to fill an afternoon.

Good to know

• The ballroom is wheelchair accessible and air conditioned.
