Weddings & Civil Partnerships 
The Elgar Room
For that very special day in your life why not book the Elgar
Room at the Council House, Avenue Road, Malvern, WR14 3AF.
The Council House, once known as Priory Mansion, was built in
1874 by Alfred Speer, who demolished the previous house known as
The Priory.
The Council House still retains many of its original features
from the ornate main entrance with its spires and gargoyles,
to the wood panelled lobby and hall. The grand staircase with
its griffins, lead up to a large colourful stained glass window,
which is a must for your photographs.
We are ideally located close to the centre of Great Malvern in
the grounds of Priory Park which once formed the grounds to the
house.
The Elgar Room has been refurbished to preserve and enhance
the room's Victorian features. Combined with the beautiful views
across Priory Park, it creates a wonderfully romantic setting
for Wedding and Civil Ceremonies.
You can view a video
of our room and surrounding area on YouTube 
After your ceremony as you step out into the beautiful grounds
of Priory Park with its Swanpool, quaint bridges and Victorian
bandstand, with the backdrop of the famous Malvern Hills.
What better location for those cherished photographs and videos of
your special day.
To comply with Fire regulations the maximum
capacity of the Elgar room is 50. There is disabled access to
the Council House to ensure that everyone can attend your "special
day".
