The Watermill at Priston Mill

The Watermill in Somerset is an enchanting and ancient building. Steeped in history, it is a fascinating and unique setting for a wedding.

Given by King Athelstan to the monks of Bath Abbey in the 10th century, the Watermill is quite simply the kind of location people dream of.

Wedding Venue in Somerset

As you and your guests enter the grounds of the Watermill, you will be captivated by the picturesque private gardens and the grand panorama of the rolling countryside beyond.

A small brook runs beside the gardens, with wooden seating arranged on manicured lawns, an attractive pagoda, ideal for outdoor wedding ceremonies, and a wonderful pergola.

Tranquil Gardens

A pergola, with its garland of scented flowers and the gentle sound of water bubbling over the central millstone water feature, is an arbour of tranquillity.

The gardens offer a relaxed setting, where you can get married in a beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony and, with a glass of fizz in hand, spend time with your family and friends.

Drinks reception

When you hold your wedding at Priston Mill, the Duchy of Cornwall estate is exclusively yours, including the Tythe Barn, Watermill and Farmhouse. As you step through the historic doorway of the Watermill, you will be greeted by the gentle, rumbling sounds of the ancient waterwheel and the spectacular rotating gears and cogs.

The two floors of the Watermill, which is not far from Bath or Bristol, are easily accessed by stairs or lift. On the first floor there is an amazing view through glass floor panels, of the huge iron waterwheel.

A Unique Venue

It is from this main floor that the party spills out onto the wooden terrace and everyone can enjoy the scenic views over the millpond and gardens. The Watermill can accommodate up to 120 guests for your evening party, and with music resonating from within and the terrace attractively flood-lit, this is a particularly magical spot.
