Story

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 of 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.

Reviews
Amazing free attraction in Hexham, small fee to see the Roman Crypt but well worth paying, especially as a volunteer goes down with you and fully explains everyrhing and points out important things to note. The volunteers were very kind and friendly, answering all our questions and just seemed happy to be talking about something they care about. It was very calm and quiet inside, with lots of educational boards around and artefacts
As we were staying near by we decided to go and take a look in the Abbey. There was a service going on and it was beautiful. The Abbey it's self is exquisite and the two ladies on the door were lovely.
A visit brought on by an interest in Anglo Saxon history and a desire to see the Crypt that is the remaining building from St Wilfreds original church. What a surprise not only to find that in super condition but an Abbey building full of history, architecture, board paintings, beautiful stained glass and an interesting interactive history trail. Staffed with helpful enthusiastic volunteers the only cost is a donation to the upkeep and three pound to enter the crypt with its unique Getta stone in the roof. Car parking in Hexham is limited but if you go past the Abbey and bear left there is a car park attached to the Abbey or you can buy a parking disk for a pound from local shops that gives you fee on street car parking for two hours. Well worth a visit.
We've visited dozens of churches, abbeys and places of worship throughout Europe. Hexham Abbey tops them all, beautiful.
I've been wanting to visit Hexham Abbey for a while now and I finally got the chance to yesterday. It didn't disappoint!nnStaff were very knowledgeable and kind, and we paid £3 each to go into the Crypt. It was a great experience. The building was beautiful :nnThank you for such a great experience
