Fantastic venue, great parking and easy to get to. We enjoyed the Adele by candlelight event which was fantastic 😀 We did feel that the sound/ volume acoustics balance could have been improved as there was a lot of distortion when she sang the more powerful songs and we weren't able to hear the lyrics but overall it was a fantastic experience. Just a note..the bar only accepts payment by card/ phone as no cash is accepted .
I regularly visit this beautiful place. The energy it has is 'other worldly', calm. Just to be in the knave, to find quiet or to meditate is more than perfect
Fabulous place, Performances were excellent will definitely go again, parking on site easy access,
Me and wife got married here 7/11/25. The great naive is completely transformed on the day, the building, its lighting, the history and architecture really lend themselves to perfect wedding venue. Chloe and the entire staff are absolutely amazing, the day went flawlessly. If you're considering getting married here, stop thinking and book it, you wont regret it🥂 💍
We had our wedding here last week and it was perfect! This was the first place we looked at for a venue and it was absolutely stunning, we had no doubts at all about having our wedding at The Monastery. Chloe helped us from the moment we first visited, until the wedding day and it wouldn’t have been so perfect if it wasn’t for Chloe and the rest of the team. We were able to visit whenever we liked and Chloe was always great communicating with us, whenever we left and got back to the car we would always say to each other “Chloe is so lovely”, there’s never any job too big for her and she did everything she could to help us with our special day. We couldn’t thank the whole team enough for how amazing they were on the day, and The Monastery feels like home to us now. We will definitely be going back to remember getting married in such a beautiful place. 🩷
