Drybridge Park
about us
Drybridge House has rooms for any occasion. The beautifully restored, Grade II listed house blends perfectly with the modern centre. This mix of old and new creates the perfect backdrop for any event. Add to that our beautiful grounds, ample on-site parking and full catering facilities. Why go anywhere else? Whether it's your wedding day or another special occasion, whether you're holding a formal conference or an informal meeting, Drybridge House is the place to come.
Drybridge House is run by Bridges Community Centre, a charity that's been in Monmouth since 1984. In 2003, Bridges took over Drybridge House and returned it to its former glory. Today it's a sympathetic restoration of a 17th century country house, set in beautiful grounds. Drybridge House retains many of its original features including wood panelling, stone carvings, a minstrel's gallery, magnificent fireplaces and gorgeous stained glass windows.
With eight main rooms that we can arrange for anything from 10 to 200 people, and a number of smaller rooms, Drybridge House has the flexibility to host any event.
Monmouth is on the edge of the A40, easily accessible from the M50 and M4. Drybridge House is a short walk from the historic town centre.
The Drybridge House team are known for their friendly and professional service. We're on hand with any help you may need to make your event a success. We have an excellent in-house catering team and a licensed bar. You're also welcome to use our kitchens to provide your own catering.
So, what sort of event will you hold?
Weddings
You could say weddings are our speciality. The secret to our success is not only our beautiful house and grounds. It's the fact that we'll work with you to create the wedding you want. Whatever you want.
You can come to us for your ceremony, your reception or both. We have four rooms licensed for ceremonies, holding up to 180 guests. And we can combine our rooms in the way that's right for your day.
You can decorate our rooms in your own style or we can do it for you. You can provide your own catering or make the most of our excellent service and licensed bar. Your wedding can reflect exactly who you are and celebrate the start of your married life in the way you'd like.
From the traditional to the original, anything is possible. But what won't change is the warm welcome you and your guests will receive or the lovely relaxed atmosphere that is Drybridge House.
Meetings and Conferences

We were very happy with the venue. Itâs such a beautiful building and had the tome for all of our guests , which most venues do not provide around the surrounding area. We would recommend Drybridge not only because itâs a beautiful building but it caters for all number of guests whether small or big, and the services provided are of a personal and high standard.
