A place for weddings

"Best day. Best venue. Best decision we ever made." This architectural masterpiece, and award-winning Grade II Listed building, can accommodate wedding ceremonies and receptions for between 85 and 450 guests in the spectacular Great Nave.

A place for coming together

"Motivation and engagement levels double when we meet at The Monastery.” Industry events, specialist conferences, staff motivation, training, music, media, with 17 versatile small and large spaces, for up to 450 delegates or more for almost any use.

A place to find yourself

"Walking through the cloisters, sitting peacefully in the garden, reflecting on the mothers and children who helped the Friars build this magnificent place. In such thoughts, I start to rekindle the feelings I thought I'd lost. I found them again, here, in The Monastery."
