We just wanted to say thank you for all the help and support over the months for our wedding day. We had the most amazing time and everyone loved the venue and how you’d set it up. We also wanted to mention how well received the diabetic dessert was - they said they’d never been to a wedding before were they were catered for like that. So huge thanks to everyone involved there.

OU R SPACES Every wedding at Prior Park Bath is tailored to the wishes and expectation of each couple. We provide a flexible and accommodating approach to the most special of occasions.

THE PORTICO

We are delighted to offer ceremonies on our beautiful covered Portico, with steps sweeping down to Prior Park grounds, overlooking the Palladian Bridge and stunning views across Bath.

THE MANSION

The impressive entrance hall is the perfect place to enjoy a drinks reception or ceremony. Entered by an arched doorway, the spacious hall leads through to a substantial portico supported by Corinthian columns. From the portico, there is a wonderful view of the Palladian Bridge set in the valley towards Bath. There is an elaborate outer stairway leading up to the original Mansion front door. The entrance hall can tranform into an impressive dance floor by night.

ACADEMY HALL

The Academy Hall spans the length of the building corresponding with the Mansion entrance hall below and can seat up to 120 people. The room is decorated with fine handworked decorative plasterwork panels and pilasters. The two central doorways are flanked by Corinthian columns and topped by an ornate frieze. Three chandeliers hang from the coved ceiling, whilst the room itself offers fantastic views over Bath.

JOHN WOOD CHAPEL

Situated to the east side of the Mansion Hall, this room was historically used for musical performances and as a meeting venue. The interior was beautifully designed

by John Wood the Elder. A striking full-height feature wall to the right is decorated predominantly with two tiers of columns: Corinthian columns above and iconic columns below, arranged around a false pedimented doorway (the apse).Above the apse, is a large ornately decorated dome. There is a raised viewing gallery to the left as you enter the room and a central chandelier hangs from the vaulted ceiling.

L ADY OF OUR SNOWS CHAPEL

O UR TE S TIMO NIAL S Sarah and Ben, August 2026 Sarah and I want to say a massive thank you to you both, Will behind the bar and to the whole team at Prior Park for making our wedding so special and such a success. Sarah and I both had the best time, and from the conversations we’ve had our guests loved the venue and had a brilliant day as well.

Everything went as we had hoped and we could not be more appreciative of the input that you both and your team put in.

Also a special thank you James for transporting us back to the centre of Bath when our coach did not turn up (apparently human error, the driver thought their shift was done). We are seeking a refund, but would advise others in our situation looking for transport around Bath to avoid Eurocoaches at all costs!

Flavia and Matt, July 2026 Additionally, we wanted to say thank you once again for giving us the best wedding we could have asked for. From beginning to end, you have all been incredibly professional, kind and patient with us. The venue was stunning, the food was exceptional and, above all, you yourselves made the day so special.

From our very first visit, I felt so welcomed, almost as though I was among friends. Everyone, from our family to our friends, has commented not only on how beautiful Prior Park College is, but also on the warmth and hospitality you showed throughout the day.

We genuinely cannot recommend Prior Park College highly enough as a wedding venue, and we will be forever grateful for giving us one of the most memorable days of our lives.

Kate and Beau, July 2026 Thank you so much for everything you did to help us plan and execute Kate and Beau’s fantastic reception at Prior Park. The venue is truly breathtaking and everyone had an incredible time. We are so grateful to you and the entire team for making Kate and Beau’s special day so memorable for us.

Emma and Matt, May 2026 We just wanted to drop you a quick email now that we are back from our honeymoon to say a huge thank you! We had the most amazing wedding day and we are so grateful for all the work that you both put in to making it amazing. It has been a pleasure working with you both.

Amy and Henry, April 2026 Thank you so much for everything - we had an amazing day! How lucky we were with the weather! It was a truly magical day, we will cherish the memories forever and Prior Park will forever be a special place for us.

Ben and Joy, November 2025 We were completely blown away by the day and how wonderful everything and everyone was! It truly was the most special day! I don’t think we could say thank you enough for making our day so special!

Hannah and Nate, July2025 We cannot thank you enough for how amazing you were - you really made the whole wedding planning experience such a joy so thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We would love to pop in next time we are in the UK. Christine and Guy, July 2025 We hosted our wedding at Prior Park in July 2025 and from start to finish, we had the most incredible experience. From the very first meeting, James made us feel welcomed and listened to, and he brought such fantastic energy to all our meetings. We had some ideas on how to make our wedding unique to us, and James and Niamh made sure no suggestion was to be dismissed! They were able to adapt and accommodate all our ideas from hosting a traditional Danish cake table, to a ceilidh dance space for all of our guests, to squeezing in a photobooth!

It was evident to us that James and his team love hosting weddings, and they truly put your experience and enjoyment first. It was such a joy to work with the Prior Park team.

Annabel and Will, July 2025 I just want to give you a HUGE thank you and your team for the most amazing wedding day we could have wished for! The whole thing went better than I could have possibly imagined, and was genuinely one of the best days of my life! Walking down the aisle on to the portico with the spectacular view of Bath was a very surreal moment!

From beginning to end, it has been so reassuring to come and visit and chat with you about any questions, concerns, or ideas for the day, and your flexibility and calm approach to everything have made the whole process so much better!

So many of our guests commented that it was ‘the best wedding’ they had ever been to, and the setting, the service, and the food was exceptional (especially as maybe the expectation might have been less owing to the fact Prior Park is first and foremost a school and not a wedding venue). Everyone was honestly blown away and had such a good time.
