After an extensive and sensitive refurbishment, the tower is now thriving in its present-day incarnation as a cutting-edge arts, heritage and events venue. The iconic 700-year-old Grade I listed monument houses numerous spaces for wedding ceremonies and receptions, from intimate to grand events. The different parts of the building are available to hire individually or together to create bespoke and truly special occasions in memorable surroundings. The Crawford Room is a self-contained and flexible space perfect for celebrant-led ceremonies and drinks receptions. The room is the oldest corner of the building and features an ancient wooden beamed roof with dramatic views overlooking the Old Town. The Main Gallery is the largest wedding space in the building and is ideally suited for bigger ceremonies and receptions. Or why not opt for The Tower Roof, which provides panoramic views across the Port of Southampton? Alternatively, The Cafe & Bar is a flexible space with a fully stocked bar and plenty of catering options, perfect for drinks, receptions and parties ‒ especially with its blend of historic and modern architectural design! Last but not least, the courtyard is a shaded outside space available to hire in combination with any other part of the building; tucked away on Lower Canal Walk, it comes with or without outdoor tables and chairs with options for a pop-up bar or street food trailers serving directly into the courtyard. The quintessential Medieval stones of the building provide the perfect backdrop for every kind of wedding set-up and your wedding portraits. www.jasonwilliamsphotography.com 25 UNUSUAL VENUES
