Healing, heritage and hospitality in the heart of Bristol.

_{Welcome to St James Priory                                                        - a very special place...}       

Healing: Our residential support and treatment for people with a substance dependency is open to all in need, whatever their background or circumstance.

Heritage: The former Benedictine Priory of St James is the oldest building in Bristol!  It has a fascinating story to tell and has witnessed almost a millennia of Bristol’s development.

Hospitality: Like our Benedictine predecessors we extend a warm welcome to all who visit. Our refectory café serves delicious refreshments and our well-equipped meeting rooms and central locality make us an ideal venue for conferences and community group bookings.

St James is still a place of Christian worship and devotion but  is open to all people from any faith or none.

It is a Catholic Church and is open between 10am and 5pm from Monday to Saturday.

Mass is celebrated each Sunday and Holyday at 8am.
