Abbey House
Abbey House is available to hire for corporate functions, meetings, events, parties and more.
Abbey House is an important part of the Glastonbury Abbey estate, both historically and today. Built as a residence in the early 19th century for the then owner of the grounds, John Fry Reeves, it is sited to provide spectacular views down the axis of the abbey church.
Abbey House today retains much of its Tudor Gothic character and is the perfect setting for a range of private functions with one of the best views in Somerset. Four accessible ground floor rooms with differing characters are available to hire, as is the beautiful and spacious garden which looks out over the abbey ruins.
The versatility of the spaces and quiet peaceful setting allow for a variety of uses. Whether you are hosting a large family function, an academic conference, or a meditative gathering or workshop, Abbey House has rooms to suit. The rooms also interconnect, creating a flowing space for large celebrations such as wedding receptions.
What’s more, being under the management of Glastonbury Abbey, event hire at Abbey House contributes to the independent charity which preserves the house, abbey ruins, and its grounds.
