About this space

The Crypt is a church crypt converted into a single enclosed event venue that is defined by its low stone arches and exposed timber roof.

Design: The main hall has flagstone floors, low arched stone walls and exposed timber trusses, punctuated by stained‑glass windows and recessed spot lighting that keeps the interior dim and focused. The plan reads as one long, single-room hall suited to a continuous dining-and-reception layout.

Features: The venue provides an on-site events team and in-house catering and bar options able to accommodate supplier visits and dietary needs. A grand piano is available on the floor and a built-in PA system and speakers permit guest playlists or a hired DJ. A cleared area serves as a dancefloor and the hire operates under a noise restriction; the road outside can be hired to allow closer parking for guests.

Ideal for: Groups wanting a single-room, formal seated dinner that can transition into a relaxed, social evening reception with music and dancing.

What sets it apart: A surviving medieval crypt that retains original stone fabric dating back around 800 years.

What guests say: The venue's service is professional, attentive and flexible throughout planning and on the day.

Christmas Dinner · 120 guests · November 2024
I recently attended a holiday party at this venue, and I can't say enough good things about the experience! From start to finish, everything was incredible. The staff was exceptionally friendly, attentive, and professional, ensuring everyone felt welcome and taken care of. The food was absolutely amazing—each dish was beautifully prepared and delicious. The drinks were equally impressive, with a great selection and expertly crafted cocktails that added a festive touch to the evening. The venue itself is stunning, with a perfect blend of elegance and comfort. It truly set the stage for a memorable celebration. Without a doubt, I would love to book this venue for future events. Highly recommend!
