About Blackfriars Priory
Seven hundred years. That's how long these walls have been standing in the center of Gloucester. Every time I walk through the stone cloisters at Blackfriars Priory, I can't help but think about all the history that's happened here—and now we get to add your story to it. This isn't your typical events venue. The medieval Dominican priory architecture creates an atmosphere you simply can't replicate. Gothic stonework meets carefully integrated modern conveniences—we've got proper heating, excellent WiFi, professional kitchen facilities, and full accessibility throughout. No need to worry about your guests struggling with ancient staircases. We're licensed for civil ceremonies, so yes, you can actually get married surrounded by these incredible historic walls. Evening parties here are something special—the courtyard lit up, music echoing off stone that's older than most countries. Outside caterers are welcome, which means you can bring in exactly the food you want. And parking? Free and on-site, because nobody needs that hassle. The team here has seen it all—intimate gatherings, massive celebrations, themed extravaganzas. We know how to work with the building's quirks to create something genuinely special. It's that combination of authentic historical atmosphere and practical modern functionality that makes events here memorable. We're an easy walk from Gloucester station, right in the cultural heart of the city. No need to trek out to some remote castle—you get all the historic drama with none of the logistical nightmares.
