Reviews Summary
St Anne's Chapel Barnstaple is praised for its unique, atmospheric charm, making it an ideal venue for intimate weddings and cultural events like craft shows and concerts. While many appreciate its special vibe, potential visitors should note significant accessibility issues due to steps and narrow stairs, making it unsuitable for those with mobility challenges.
"We celebrated our wedding at St Anne's and it couldn't have been any better! It had a nice vibe about it and loved how it looked, so much nicer than a hotel or barn (in our opinion anyway!). So if you're having a small wedding (we had 40 people there for the day) then it is perfect! Big thanks to Sharon and Joy for all their hard work and help. It was superb!"

"Great venue in the centre of Barnstaple. Craft show as part of Art Trek North Devon Open Studios full of wonderful homemade arts and crafts"

"Small venue for intimate events. Very atmospheric with candles and subdued lighting for concert I attended. One star deducted for numb inducing chairs but otherwise a delightful setting. Note that because of steps up to entrance, not suitable for those with mobility issues."
