Museum of the Order of St John Events

@alicemaypurkiss Hello. We came across your tweet. We have our learning center 5 minutes walk from Farringdon station. If you are interested reach out to us at venues@sja.org.uk and we can organise for you to come view the space.

We got some amazing pictures from the @HandleBards performance of Twelfth Night last week. We can't wait to have them back. Find a whole host of events at our historic spaces here: museumstjohn.org.uk/events/?numPos…

We love seeing our historic spaces transformed for an evening. For any enquiries about hiring our unique spaces please contact venues@sja.org.uk #newbooks #newfiction #Twincrowns #bookish

We had the pleasure of hosting @cat_doyle0 and @kwebberwanders book launch with @electricmonkeybooks for the wonderful new book, Twin Crowns. Everyone dressed tremendously and we were overjoyed to see the Chapter Hall come to life when it was filled with regal glamour.

7pm on the 10th May the Priory Church of the Order of St John hosts a unique production of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night by the @handlebards The Handlebards' idiosyncratic and distinct take on Shakespeare's plays has received international critical acclaim handlebards.com/show/twelfth-n…

We might be getting excited that summer is on the way, and days are getting longer... but not everything about winter evenings are bad- we loved having our @TwilightTreesUK up under the Arch. It was so festive!

In the 12th century, the knights of the Order of St John used a herb called St John’s Wort to treat sick pilgrims. Today you can find it growing in our garden in Clerkenwell and depicted in the window of our Old Chancery. #MusNature museumstjohn.org.uk/st-johns-wort/

We are lucky enough to be able to hire out our Museum Galleries - the are excellent spaces for a drinks reception! As you can see below, there is a wonderful variety of interesting objects for your guests to look at, whilst meandering around with a delicious cocktail in hand 🍸

#Didyouknow in 1888 when Queen Victoria granted a royal charter to the Order of St John, it also meant the Order was permitted to incorporate the royal beasts (a Lion and a Unicorn) into its own symbol, which is what can still be seen today. #FridayFact

We are officially signing off to enjoy the Christmas Festivities...fingers crossed we are lucky enough to get to enjoy plenty of delicious snacks - like these by @eastdulwichchef, made for one of our events this year. Merry Christmas to everyone, and see you next year!

....And that brings us to Christmas Eve! Thank you for joining us for a walk down the memory lane of 2019 - it truly has been a wonderful year with incredible events, happy faces, and memories made. Fingers crossed next year can be as successful!

Today's picture is of the Church set up for a beautiful dinner recently - the space is big enough to fit in a large scale dinner like this, and yet still feel intimate and welcoming. #venuehire #clerkenwell #historicvenuehire

Today in our run up to Christmas we are remembering the Cloister Garden set up, beautifully, for the Fentimans Secret Garden here earlier in summer. A beautiful, quiet haven - and the perfect place for a chilled drinks reception. #venuehire #clerkenwell #historicvenuehire

This is the moment just before guests arrived for an intimate wedding ceremony in the Council Chamber - a truly unique and memorable place to get married! We have been lucky enough to be part of so many weddings this year, and each and every one has been beautiful. #venuehire

This is a throwback to earlier in the year when we had our competition winners coming in for a private afternoon tea in the beautiful Old Chancery....tea for two anyone?! #venuehire #clerkenwell #historicvenuehire
