Priston Mill has been an idyllic setting for weddings, parties and conferences for more than 25 years. The gardens and ancient buildings have such a dream-like quality that it is hard to imagine they haven't existed like this for ever. However, holding functions here is just one of the many alterations that have taken place since the Hopwood family moved into the Duchy owned farm over 40 years ago.
It was they who changed the 280 acres from beef, dairy and arable to predominately a dairy farming whilst also employing a full-time miller to produce stone-ground flour for local shops and bakeries. Over many years, the Watermill, farm shop, wagon rides and educational tours, attracted thousands of visitors to Priston Mill.

We had the most amazing day that surpassed all expectation we had (we had high expectations too!)
You were absolutely incredible from the planning meeting to the time we got on the coach home and made everything so easy for us. All your staff were brilliant too so please pass on our thanks.
Again, thank you so so much for everything. Also, apologies for my high maintenance best men (but they did smash it to be fair!) Have an amazing Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Thank you so much to Clara and the Priston Mill team for providing us with such a professional, personal and friendly service, not only on our wedding day but for the years before that during the planning process (especially when we had to postpone). As soon as we walked into the The Tythe Barn, we knew we had found our dream venue, and it was one of the best wedding decisions we made!! Having an autumn wedding, I was anticipating the weather to not be on our side. However on the day the weather was glorious, and thankfully the team took the initiative to move the welcome drinks outside so we could

I just want to thank the staff, I was at the wedding last Friday, not only was the venue a beautiful place, the food and service were amazing. On top of that, there were four fantastic members of staff who rescued me when I found car battery had died. I am sorry, I didn't get your names, but you were heroes. Thank you!

Super venue for a Wedding. Car parking a little bit of an issue especially with large parties and the roast potatoes, well the word nuked comes to mind. Apart from that almost perfect. Wonderful for photographs, well worth the winding lanes to get there. Conscientious and diligent staff. I would recommend.
