Main Room
The largest of our indoor event spaces, the Main Rooms feature abundant natural light through expansive Georgian windows and doors that offer views over the gardens and the parkland beyond.
Original hardwood floors, ornate coving, and classic Georgian fireplaces reflect Hirst Priory’s heritage, while the neutral decor allows your event's theme to take centre stage. The spacious and versatile layout of the Main Rooms makes them perfect for grand celebrations, formal dinners, and lively receptions. With its elegant ambience and easy access to the terrace and the Lawn, the Main Rooms are the heart of any celebration or event.
The Vaults
One of the most unique event spaces in the region, the basement Vaults are rich in old-world atmosphere. The original brick vaulted ceilings are accented by the brick-paved flooring, creating a sense of real warmth.
Thoughtfully designed lighting enhances the architectural features, making the Vaults an ideal setting for more intimate romantic ceremonies, cosy dinners, or lively evening celebrations with music and dancing. A hidden gem within Hirst Priory, The Vaults offers a memorable and enchanting experience for you and your guests.
The Lawn
Step outside onto the Lawn to enjoy the beauty of Hirst Priory's grounds. The stone terrace with occasional seating overlooks manicured gardens and parkland, offering a picturesque setting and backdrop for any outdoor events.
Perfect for open-air ceremonies, parties at the Priory, or simply a moment of tranquillity, the Lawn and gardens provide a breathtaking backdrop for your special occasion. Whether you're exchanging vows under the summer sky or enjoying a refreshing drink and canapes with friends and family, the Lawn's natural beauty and serene atmosphere offer a tranquil and more relaxed country feel.
Woodland
Get back to nature in the Woodland, where an ancient twisted yew tree creates the most focal point, with intertwining branches forming a romantic canopy above a bark-strewn aisle. Dappled sunlight and lush greenery make this a magical setting to exchange vows or celebrate milestone events, surrounded by the tranquillity and beauty of nature, and often accented with traditional lantern lights or candles, rustic furnishings and more naturally inspired features.
The Woodland's enchanting atmosphere and natural verdant decor ensure a more relaxed and 'with nature' experience for outdoor ceremonies and intimate gatherings. Let the Woodland's charm and serenity be the backdrop for your most cherished moments.
