The Perfect Location...

The Priory is set in the village of Scorton, known

locally as ‘The Gateway to the Forest of Bowland’, with a backdrop of beautiful fells, trees and lakes.

Nestled in the heart of the Lancashire countryside, it’s easy to forget where you are, however access to motorways & local towns and cities is extremely easy. The Priory itself dates back to 1650 when it was built as a Catholic Mass Centre. The hotel was originally the Priest’s residence and the restaurant was the stables and yard.

The building has been tastefully renovated over the years, being sympathetic to the 350 year old building’s history and character.

These days The Priory’s comfortable country setting is perfect for intimate weddings. We are not a huge purpose built commercial wedding venue, we specialise in smaller, more personal and romantic weddings parties. For summer weddings, guests can stroll around the private garden where our friendly, attentive staff will serve you with canapés and champagne. Alternatively in winter, with several log burning stoves, we create that cosy feeling.

Your Ceremony...

The Priory is officially licensed for wedding and civil ceremonies by Lancashire County Council for up to 60 guests.

We offer a beautiful alternative to a church or registry office however we are happy to help if you want advice on local churches.

Once you have chosen the venue for your ceremony, you will need to contact your nearest registration service directly to arrange for the registrar to attend and sort out the legalities and fees.

Please speak to our wedding co-ordinators if you have any questions.
