About The Chimney House

Perched on the edge of an historic waterway  - the ‘mill race’ on Kelham Island - complete with kingfishers and bullrushes - The Chimney House with its 93ft chimney and beautiful original redbrick is often described as ‘iconic’.

Traced back to 1886 - Former residents include an elephant and steel rolling mill workers - so it sits beautifully in a historic setting - as well as a modern and inspiring place to celebrate! 

Coming into The Chimney House is like being welcomed into a friend’s home…Cosy and welcoming - the building gives you a big hug on arrival! We restored the building to its former original beauty - all redbrick, fireplaces and stone stairs. You’ll find leafy green living plants on every surface and we style with fresh British blooms and stacks of candlesticks. All furniture is either custom made by us or design classics or antiques. 

Kelham Island is all about incredible industrial heritage - which you’ll find all around The Chimney House set next to the bustling scene that is growing up around both sides of the River. Plenty of hidden gems for beautiful photo ops and secret places to explore. 

Ceremonies take place in The Meeting Room of The Chimney House - but guests have access to The Living Room and The Front Room. We custom style a resplendent altar with an abundance of seasonal British blooms and candles for the ceremony to take place in front of - while up to 50 guests relax on design classics including our cantilever Brno chairs. 

We host Wedding Feasts - which can be up to 50 guests over 2 feasting tables. This is also hosted in The Meeting Room - which is transformed for dinner after the ceremony. An intimate and romantic space - set under original timber beams with incredible light from original factory windows. 

Apart from the magnificent - yet humble 93ft chimney that gives our building its name… We've custom built most of the furniture you see inside The Chimney House - including the incredible 20 foot long table that serves as The Chimney House's ceremony altar and feasting table. We created it from 8 different types of reclaimed timber - from mahogany, oak, panga panga, iroko and rested the top on cast iron legs that we reclaimed from a sewing machine factory.

We fill our building with beautiful furniture with Sheffield and English provenance for a wonderful feeling. 

Every step of the journey for planning any event with us is filled with bespoke consultations and expert care.

    "Attempting to put into words just how incredible The Mowbray, The Chimney House and all their wonderful, talented staff are - it’s a near impossible task, but I’m going to give it a go!These venues are truly unique, the buildings have so much soul, and attention to every detail is just perfect. From the beautiful Sheffield-made cutlery, the tables made from old gym floors to the antique vases and candlesticks, and of course, the beautiful Art Deco lighting! They even have the most beautiful incense that’s unique to the venues! Everything was just to our taste and we couldn’t resist- our wedding had to be here!To top it all off the food was just divine, our guests loved it, and so many commented that it’s the best food they’d ever had at a wedding and I couldn’t agree more!The staff are just so lovely. Lucy looked after us throughout our wedding planning journey and, not only is she clearly an absolute pro at what she does, she’s just the nicest, most down to earth person. I felt so comfortable and relaxed about everything, knowing I was in safe hands. Georgina and her team looked after us on the day of the wedding, and again, she was just fantastic, everything was perfectly timed and organised, and we didn’t need to worry about a thing.I cannot express enough how magical our wedding was, we would recommend The Mowbray and The Chimney House to anyone seeking an utterly unique experience that you and your guests will remember forever."

    The Chimney House Owner

    We're a family business. We're proud to be originally independent and grown from hard work and imagination.Perched on an Island, former residents include an elephant and steel rolling mill workers. Traced back to 1886 part of Sheffield's important historic industrial heritage with the enormous wonder of having housed an elephant named Lizzie during World War One.The Chimney House stands on the banks of the Mill Race as a reminder of the time when the Steel Rolling Mills ruled the City and elephants answered the call of a City in need and lifted and shifted their way to victory.In 2008 we took owner and custodianship of a near derelict building in the ex industrial heartland of Sheffield and have restored and brought back to life the magnificent red brick building with the iconic 93ft chimney soaring through the floor and out of the roof. The name? Well that was simple!We recycled original building materials and sought out true Sheffield artisans and craftsmen to complete the transformation in brick and timber. We paid homage to the skill and care from the past and placed reverence and respect in equal messages when it came to addressing how we moved hand in hand with heritage and today.
