Rook Lane Chapel at Rook Lane Chapel

About this space

Rook Lane Chapel offers a unique venue for your wedding
ceremony. A restored 18th Century Grade 1 listed building, the
chapel combines traditional grandeur with elegant contemporary
design. Majestic stone columns rise up to support the high domed
roof, with light flooding into the serene open plan space through the
original ceiling-height windows, and the stunning rose windows.
The contemporary extension to the chapel is the perfect space for
a champagne reception. A modern, sunlit bar area opens out into
a landscaped garden with rooftop views over Frome, an excellent
setting for champagne and photographs.
The Chapel space can seat up to 160 guests for your Ceremony and
reception. You can decorate and have the space as you wish, just
share your vision for your day with us. We can set the space up with
chairs, cream carpet runner, ceremony table with cream cloth and
registrars table for you.

Rook Lane Chapel is a restored, Grade-1 listed 18th century chapel. It combines vintage elegance with modern accents, creating a truly elegant and sublime atmosphere. It has been purposely designed to be a place both for wedding ceremonies and receptions, as well as providing Exhibition space, and a wonderful venue for talks, musical performances and private parties. The smaller bar and garden area can be hired separately. The original building has been expanded with a contemporary extension providing you with plenty of space to create a natural and free-flowing event. The chapel features delicate, bright décor, and you are more than welcome to add some personal touches, making this space truly reflect your style and personality.

The chapel is situated in the heart of Frome, a wonderful and bustling town. It’s only a 35 minute drive from the city of Bath. You can easily reach the venue by car, as it’s located only 2 miles from the A361.
