Holmes Chapel is a village and civil parish in the unitary authority area of Cheshire East and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England; until 1974, the parish was known as Church Hulme.^[2] It is located about 8 miles (13 km) north of Crewe and 21 miles (34 km) south of Manchester; Swettenham Meadows Nature Reserve lies 2.5 miles (4.0 km) east of the village and Goostrey lies to the north.

The population of the village was recorded as 6,700 at the 2021 census; it has since grown, due to a number of large housing developments. According to the Index of Deprivation, the village ranks as the 18th least deprived ward in the United Kingdom (out of 8,414).
