Welcome to Hirst Priory

Hirst Priory is a Grade II listed 18th-century country house near Crowle on the Isle of Axholme, North Lincolnshire, built on the site of a 12th-century Augustinian priory. Now a premier wedding and events venue, it offers a uniquely beautiful location and a choice of stunning indoor and outdoor settings.
