Onsite visitors can enjoy the Abbey, Visitor Exhibition, Refectory Cafe and Gift Shop. Since 674 AD we have welcomed people to this special place, a thriving center for heritage, community and worship. Alongside our regular services we host a range of community activities and events for people of all faiths and none. The Abbey is a major tourist attraction with a plethora of treasures and points o

f interest, bringing over 110,000 visitors each year to the market town of Hexham. Alongside the Abbey we have our exhibition and visitor center, The Big Story, which tells the history of this wonderful site through a range of interactive and engaging displays. We welcome children with tailored audio guides and fun features in the Big Story to little minds entertained.. Onsite we also have our Refectory Cafe, a hidden gem on the local catering scene - and no visit is complete without a visit to our gift shop where we stock a range of local and regional souvenirs. Through our Priory Buildings we also offer a range of room hire options and can accommodate wedding receptions, conferences, functions and meetings, from 10-140 guests.

*POLITE (but urgent) NOTICE*
We strongly advise that anyone parked in our front car park, remove their car immediately. We are having a lot of debris falling from the roof and would hate for this to damage anyone's car.

There are firemen on site to es**rt and supervise anyone walking in the area to remove their car.

Thank you!
