About Chapel
40 Theatre
Our original twelfth-century Chapel carries centuries of stories within its ancient stone walls. Step through the arched doorway and you'll find yourself in a space where candlelit alcoves cast dancing shadows across medieval stonework, creating an atmosphere that modern venues simply cannot replicate. We've carefully preserved the Chapel's historical character while ensuring comfort for today's celebrations. Natural light streams through small stained-glass windows, warming the stone interior with coloured light that changes throughout the day. The space accommodates up to 40 guests in theatre-style seating, though we often arrange intimate round table setups for smaller gatherings, surrounded by our collection of comfortable period-appropriate chairs. Many couples choose our Chapel for wedding blessings after their civil ceremony, drawn by the authentic medieval atmosphere and the sense of occasion these ancient walls provide. The rustic details, from the hand-carved stone to the flickering candles in wall alcoves, create a romantic backdrop that needs no additional decoration. Corporate groups find the Chapel equally compelling for board meetings or strategic planning sessions, where the peaceful, contemplative atmosphere helps teams focus away from everyday distractions. Beyond the Chapel doors, our 30-acre parkland stretches down to Climping Beach, offering natural spaces for drinks receptions or team-building activities. The medieval architecture continues throughout our property, with stone buildings and tapestry-hung rooms providing consistent historical charm. Transport links nearby make reaching us straightforward, whether your guests are travelling from London or along the South Coast. For wedding parties, the Chapel works beautifully alongside our other event spaces, allowing ceremonies to flow into receptions in our Tapestry Restaurant or across our grounds. Corporate groups appreciate the contrast between focused sessions within these twelfth-century walls and refreshing breaks in our coastal setting.
