The Monastery is a Grade II listed architectural masterpiece. It has a compelling history, making it an extraordinary choice for couples seeking a unique and meaningful wedding venue.

We believe that their location in the heart of Bury adds to its charm. With easy access and free parking available, it ensures both the celebrants and their guests can arrive hassle-free and enjoy the celebration to the fullest.

Here’s the catch – its popularity has led to a long waiting list. If you’re considering this venue, we strongly recommend booking years or even months in advance to secure your desired date.
