About
Blackfriars Priory is a stunning 13th-century medieval Priory site, nestled in the heart of Gloucester City. Recently crowned as an International Wedding Award 2021 winner and Matrimony Awards 2022 Winner of Best Barn Venue (Exclusive Use), it has been named one of Gloucester's top landmarks. Following renovations, the historic fabric has been retained and complemented with contemporary design, including a full glass wall overlooking the ancient ruin. Visitors can experience the private courtyard garden, the magnificent original scissor-braced roof, and the Scriptorium, the oldest and most well-preserved medieval library in Britain. The venue is suitable for weddings, parties, corporate events, and guided tours, offering a personal and professional service.
