An incredibly special place, Stanbrook Abbey offers atmospheric ceremony rooms, boutique interiors, glorious gardens, an orchard, bell tower and enchanting lake. Our ‘Wow factor’ is the breath-taking Callow Great Hall, which can be booked to hold a civil ceremony, offering all the opulence and charm of a church.
After years as a closed order convent, Stanbrook Abbey is now open following an extensive and sympathetic refurbishment which has restored it to its former splendour. Constructed of red brick with stone dressings and gothic windows, its interiors are mesmerising from the beauty of the Callow Great Hall with its lofty vaulted ceiling and vivid stained glass windows.
The grounds at Stanbrook will really enhance the atmosphere on your special day. From the beautiful, lavender- filled, butterfly garden, weeping willow trail and private lake to spectacular vistas of stunning landscape and rolling countryside, the external space will impress guests and offer countless opportunities for picture perfect photos and romantic moments.
The Abbey is spectacularly set up to make a whole weekend out of your wedding by staying the night prior as well. Our five bedroom Manor House is an entirely separate house specifically designed for the needs of a Bride and her Bridal Party for the night before and the morning of your wedding the only thing that connects it to the Abbey is the secret walkway straight to our Ceremony room so there is no danger of anyone seeing you until you’re walking down the aisle.
And it’s not just the bride who has a space of her own. In addition to the extensive luxury accommodation for guests, there is Papa’s Snug which is a refuge for the Father of the Bride to perfect his speech and a Groom’s Room for the Groom's party to also prepare for their big moment.
