We were married in the Medieval Undercroft at Torre Abbey in early June 2023. It was the most beautiful venue filled with a serene sense of peace. We easily fitted just over 60 guests in the Undercroft. We provided all the decorations, mainly seat covers and subtle lighting.Phil Dixon was our main contact for the wedding, and We cannot say how grateful we are to him and his team. For 15 months Phil was involved with our planning and always replied quickly and helped us shape our perfect day. Phil always went above and beyond to make us feel special.The gardens at the Abbey are beautiful and the wedding photos will always be a wonderful memory of our special day.

This is a bit of a labyrinth so really intriguing. Love how they have laid it out internally and they do change exhibits. I was there during AC festival so there were talks and exhibits relating to Agatha Christie. The walled garden was interesting and the staff were very helpful in aiding me identify and understand a particular intriguing plant. Would go back as I was on limited time and felt I could spend longer there.

The moment my (now!) husband and I set foot on the grounds of Torre Abbey, we knew we had discovered a hidden gem that would make our special day absolutely unforgettable. From the picturesque beauty of the surroundings to the charming barn that exudes rustic elegance, every aspect of this venue contributed to the wedding of our dreams.The grounds themselves are a nature lover's paradise, boasting lush gardens, rustic architecture, and exotic plants that created an atmosphere of serene romance. We were awe-struck by the meticulously landscaped gardens that offered a plethora of breathtaking backdrops for our photos, making it almost impossible to choose just one. Whether it was the vibrant colors of the flowers or the graceful archway entwined with ivy, every corner seemed to hold its own unique allure.But the true heart-stealer was the spanish barn. Stepping inside felt like stepping into a fairytale. The blend of rustic charm and contemporary sophistication was seamless. The exposed wooden beams, high ceilings adorned with delicate fairy lights, and the spacious layout gave our wedding a touch of old-world enchantment. It provided the perfect canvas for us to personalize the space, and it effortlessly accommodated our guests while still maintaining an intimate ambiance.What truly sets this venue apart is its attention to detail. The staff's (Phil, you are amazing) dedication to ensuring every element of our day was perfect was beyond compare. From the pre-wedding preparations to the reception, their professionalism and warm hospitality put us at ease. They were with us every step of the way, accommodating our requests with a smile and going above and beyond to make our vision come to life.In conclusion, if you're searching for a wedding venue that effortlessly combines natural beauty, rustic charm, and impeccable service, this is the place. Our wedding day was a fairy tale come true, thanks to the stunning grounds, the captivating barn, and the dedicated team behind it all. We wholeheartedly recommend this venue to couples looking to create an unforgettable and truly magical wedding experience.

Torre Abbey is very interesting place, catering for adults and children, absolutely full of history. It's all explained and simple to understand, so you don't feel you are over loaded with information and you are left to explore at your own leisure, well worth a visit. I must mention the grounds are beautiful, well stocked with flowers/plants, very colourful, ( being different, depending on Season of visit). There is also a wonderful greenhouse, full of eczotic plants from around world, also a few surprise snakes!!, made me jump until I realised they were furry stuffed ones!!. It is very relaxing sitting outside in the garden weather permitting.
