Are you searching for somewhere special to host your next event? Take a look at The Friars which is found in the beautiful Kentish countryside.
The Pilgrims' Hall is the oldest building in the Great Courtyard at The Friars, and has a history that dates back to the 13th century. While the building does have more modern Elizabethan details, such as 17th century windows and a 1950s kitchen, the Pilgrims' Hall itself is a genuine 13th century structure that originally provided shelter for pilgrims who were travelling to Canterbury.
Hospitality has always been a key part of Carmelite culture and remains important today, something which you’ll recognise as soon as you enter Pilgrims Hall. Over the years, the Pilgrims Hall has served various purposes, including being a barn, a brewery, a house, and even the headquarters for a Scouts group, before becoming the venue it is now.
You may be planning a baby shower, a family lunch or a corporate event, and whatever it is, the team at The Friars will work with you to make sure that your event is nothing short of perfect. With a whole host of offers, here you're guaranteed a breathtaking backdrop for your event, only enhanced by the beautiful surroundings.
Alongside the Pilgrims Hall and larger North Barn, you can also look at hiring out the more intimate space of The Small Refectory. Just imagine how delighted your guests will be when they see the beautiful backdrop of the Pilgrims Hall, a truly unique and historic event space.
