Places to Elope UK
Gretna Green has to be the best known of all the places to elope to in the UK. The village on the Scotland / England border has become iconic for its centuries old tradition of elopement weddings.
Here at The Mill Forge, we have one of the most popular wedding venues in the area and we regularly host eloping couples. Because of this, we’ve developed a range of wedding packages with eloping couples specifically in mind.
We have our own ceremony venue, thirty-three ensuite rooms, a bar and restaurant with individual function rooms, stunning gardens and a dedicated wedding planner team.
