Description

We offer our customers a magical space, something totally unique and unlike no other. We offer you a warm, friendly welcome, quality time and endless support through your journey - our goal is for your special day to be solely about you and we will work with you and your families to ensure that goal is achieved. The joint owners, Lesley and Trish, work closely with independent celebrants and registrars to celebrate unity in all its forms. At the Flint Room, there is no discrimination as absolutely everyone is welcome. Whether it be your wedding, renewing your vows, hosting a baby naming ceremony, a memorial services or celebrating your loved one’s life we will make sure your special day is one to remember. A little piece of history... the building’s former name was St John De Sepulchre (also St John The Theologian) and was situated close to one of old Norwich’s City gates. It may very well be the best known of all the Norwich churches and rides high on the bluff of Ber Street. The top of its tower was once the highest point in the city. So what are you waiting for…….. the former Church has now been lovingly brought back to life by a small, very enthusiastic, creative and passionate team with the full support of Norwich Historic Churches Trust. Believe us when we say it stands out like no other! Don’t be afraid of being different. Be afraid of being the same! For any other information and prices please our website www.theflintroom.co.uk

Perfect wedding ceremony

We had our wedding ceremony here and I can't put in to words just how perfect it was. Lesley & Trish were so accommodating and so so helpful in the run up to the day. On the actual day they were so supportive and bent over backwards to make everything as special as it could be. All of our guests loved the venue and commented on how perfect it was for us. From the moment we first visited it felt like home which was exactly the vibe we wanted for such a special day.

Awesome quirky wedding venue with brilliant hosts who were really accommodating to guests. We attended a friend's wedding here and were really impressed with the venue, it is beautiful, well organised and well located on the outskirts of the city centre. Amazing

An incredible venue!

An incredible venue! Uniquely beautiful, with such a welcoming atmosphere. Trish and Lesley were fantastic hosts for our celebration; They went above and beyond to help organise (and customise) our event. I couldn't recommend their service and their venue highly enough.

The most memorable wedding

The most memorable wedding day we could have hoped for. The Flint Room creates all the beauty of traditional church wedding but with the warm charm of a relaxed ceremony. The whole process of hiring the Flint Room was easy from the get go for me and my wife. The day was perfect for our guests and most importantly us!

Wow !!!

What can we say but WOW! Lesley and Trish are absolutely amazing, there were never any concerns because they took care of it all. The venue itself is spectacular, from the outside a pretty church but the inside holds something so much more magical, full of trinkets and treasure like aladdins cave. It's honestly breathtaking. Our guests were astonished when they walked inside and saw something totally unexpected.

Describe The Flint Room in 5 adjectives

Unique Quirky Different Unusual Bespoke

Where’s the best photo spot at The Flint Room ?

Probably the ivy arch however too many fun and unusual nooks and crannies to choose from as every couple (and their photographers) have their own favourite areas for photos

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at The Flint Room ?

Yes we have in fact however we would like to maintain their anonymity if that is OK :-)

We are mainly a ceremonies' venue however more and more couples have opted to stay longer with us and have a mini reception. We have had buffets, canapes however our favourite was a delivery of hot pies and mash from a local outlet which was delicious

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

Aggghhh too many to mention!!

What is The Flint Room most unique feature?

It's the look on peoples faces when they see a Church on the outside then walk inside and do not expect what awaits them! Most unique feature would have to be 'being different'

What part of your business are you most proud of?

Making a beautiful and magical place where ALL couples are welcome - no prejudice, no judgements, just love and support
