Peaty–Ramsay Wedding to Close Bath Abbey to Visitors on Dec. 27

The all-day shutdown has drawn criticism over celebrity access to a historic church.

Overview

  • Bath Abbey’s official website lists December 27 as closed to visitors as Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay prepare to wed.
  • Reports say the couple reserved exclusive use of the abbey for the entire day despite a ceremony of about 90 minutes, with security expected to restrict tourist access and photography.
  • Typical wedding hire is cited around £2,500, and outlets report the pair are paying more to secure full-day exclusivity.
  • Abbey rules allow weddings only for parishioners, congregation members or those with a qualifying connection, and coverage has not detailed the couple’s specific link.
  • Media continue to highlight a Peaty family rift, with his mother reportedly uninvited and sister Bethany said to be the only relative attending, as roughly 200 guests are expected including close Ramsay family friends.
