HISTORIC AND TRANQUIL PRIVATE DINING AND MEETING ROOMS
AT ONE OF THE CITY’S HIDDEN GEMS…
St Martin’s Priory
Canterbury is a treasure trove of secret gardens, parks and venues that
the unsuspecting tourist and even resident are not always aware of and
St Martin’s Priory falls firmly in to this category.

The striking, Grade II listed house set in two acres
of beautiful grounds is located on the doorstep
of the City and borders the World Heritage site
of St Martin’s Church. Within the house, there is
a selection of rooms available to cater for meetings
or training sessions as well as private dining
events, gatherings and weddings.
It is the natural choice for away days and directors’
retreats where the idea is to distance yourself
from the distractions of the office and spend
some quality time concentrating on new initiatives
or reflecting on old ones. The venue boasts one
of the most impressive boardrooms in Canterbury
which can accommodate up to 32 people.
Private dining at the venue for up to 36 guests
is a must and means that your event will have a
feeling of exclusivity difficult to rival elsewhere in
the city. You are able to match the grand
surroundings of the venue with delicious food
chosen from the in-house menus and with topend wines sourced from local suppliers.

Not to forget the grounds with its tiered lawns,
romantic rose garden, secluded herb garden and
pond. This is the perfect backdrop for marquee
weddings or outdoor celebrations looking for
beautiful surroundings with exclusive use and the
ability to cater for up to 200 guests.
The charm of this historic and peaceful venue
flows throughout the building and grounds. It is
centrally located, has free parking and accessible
access which should all increase its appeal to
the event organiser or party planner.
