Ware Priory
Ware Priory itself is a historic 14th Century Grade 1 listed building with the Priory Hall, the Hadsley Room and the Conservatory available offering well over 300m2 of conference space.
Ware Priory was extensively renovated in the early 1990s and some of the original building materials, including wattle and daub, have been uncovered and preserved as features of interest. Conference delegates also have access to and views across seven acres of picturesque riverside gardens.
The building contains the offices of Ware Town Council including the Council Chamber itself, with its imposing official layout. The Chamber offers a quirky setting for any meeting or conference. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available for all delegates.
We offer a first class catering service via our award-winning Catering Partnership. Each caterer offer a variety of menus but if any of your delegates have specific dietary requirements then they would be more than willing to discuss alternative.
If you have no room preference for your conference or meeting we will allocate the best facility to meet your booking requirement. However, if you would like to view the facilities prior to booking then an appointment can be made by using the Contact Us section on this site.

Testimonials
The whole experience was excellent – we have used Ware Priory on a number of occasions and will continue to do so as the facilities, service and staff are all excellent.
Our overall experience was great. Room was lovely, spacious and bright. Equipment was excellent, perfect for our needs. All staff were friendly and helpful. Food and layout was excellent. Some of the best ever experienced for a conference/meeting. Price was competitive. All I can say is that I would highly recommend The Priory and if we ever have a need again, we would definitely go back.
Many thanks. We were all very impressed. Everything went smoothly, from easy accessible parking, the welcome reception and all the culinary delights, beginning with the warm Danishes with Coffee/Tea/Juice and fruit on arrival! It certainly got the day off to a good start and the refreshments delivered unobtrusively throughout the day maintained that high standard. The sit down lunch in the room overlooking the river was a talking point. We look forward to being spoilt by your services in the future.
