The Priory Church is a Hall in the Museum of the Order of St John that retains original priory church fabric, giving the space a clearly historic character.

Design: The interior has high plastered walls, a black-and-white tiled floor, large portrait paintings and mounted heraldic banners that give the room a formal, period appearance.

Features: The room provides venue Wi‑Fi and benefits from abundant natural light through tall windows. The long, open nave can be arranged for round‑table dining or standing receptions and includes fixed overhead chandeliers and a raised chancel that serves as a focal platform. Onsite museum staff support event coordination.

Ideal for: The room suits intimate to mid‑sized groups seeking formal seated dinners or standing receptions in a historic, ceremonial setting.

What guests say: The Priory Church retains a quiet, intimate atmosphere.
