The Pilgrims Rest is essentially a dry hire venue but one with a difference.
Rather than offering a blank space where everything needs to be hired in to make it sing, we have carefully designed and furnished the building to do just that.
Four times a year, our professional styling team creates a new seasonal look for the building so that it needs little decoration.
We are constantly improving the venue and adding little extras to help make your day as relaxed, and affordable, as possible.
All weddings have exclusive use of The Pilgrims Rest for your day.
