Email us for information about the buildings and for details about how to book the venue for an event.
The buildings can be hired for weddings, exhibitions, conferences, parties and other events. The buildings are a beautiful and atmospheric location.

The available spaces are a stunning long gallery, the lower hall (underneath the long gallery), two large checkers and the river side garden.

For detailed information about hire charges for using the various spaces in the building - Email.

You can also hire the Unicorn Theatre, a 89 seat theatre, which is wonderful for music, drama and for lectures and conference events. The theatre has a very good acoustic for both amplified and non-amplified music. It is wonderful for string quartets, small chamber orchestras, folk performances and even full rock bands. The theatre has also been used to stage Handel operas.

The buildings are a favourite venue for wedding parties. The venue gets booked up well in advance so it is a good idea to book your event as early as possible.

If you hire the theatre space for an event and wish to use the theatre lighting and sound equipment you must contact the theatre technician - email

Refreshments can be served in any of the spaces except the theatre. The long gallery has a sink, storage and a fridge, if required. There is no kitchen in the buildings but catering can be arranged.


Please get in touch if you have any questions. Email.

The Abingdon Abbey Buildings are owned and run by The Friends of Abingdon.
