Looking forward, upwards and onwards! We hope you are all coping with the strains and tribulations that the virus has caused us all. We have managed to keep busy with juggling home-schooling, maintenance and future business plans.
Designate @ The Gate
If there is something we are all going to need, its a a good ol’ knees up! We are so looking forward to re-opening our party venue when allowable and safe to do so. It seems we are counting down the days until we can start celebrating again with our friends and family.
Please do get in touch if, like us, you are hopeful for the future and would like to organise a get-together when the restrictions have been lifted. We will pencil you in the diary to save a date without the need to pay a deposit or make a commitment.

Designate Accommodation
We are starting to get a few enquiries for future bookings. We will welcome you with open arms to come and explore the beautiful hills of the Derbyshire Dales and Peak District. We have certainly enjoyed exploring what surrounds Designate’s Glamping Barns on our family walks during lockdown.
