  1. What's On

What's On

Due to the national lockdown announced on 4th January we are now closed. We anticipate re-opening on 17th May but will update our website as the ongoing situation becomes clearer. Our bookings office remains open 9am-1pm Monday - Friday. You can call us on (01202) 764776 or book online. We look forward to welcoming you back as soon as we are able. Below are the precautions we are taking and these are regularly reviewed in line with government advice and restrictions. May God’s peace and joy be your strength at this challenging time.

We recognise that many people will be coming away for the first time since the pandemic started and will want to know that we are doing everything we can to keep our guests and staff team safe. You can rest assured that your safety is our highest priority. 

The following measures will be in place and we will be continually reviewing our procedures to ensure we are working in line with government guidelines:

  • Enhanced cleaning regimes in public areas and bedrooms
  • Temperature checks on arrival
  • Sanitiser stations at entrances and throughout the building
  • Social distancing measures in place
  • One guest seated at each dining room table unless you are part of the same household or social 'bubble'
  • Reduced numbers of rooms being let out unless part of same households or social ‘bubbles’
  • No day events to keep overall guest numbers on site at a safe level
  • Revised arrangements for food and beverage service (i.e. no self-service)
  • Revised cancellation terms so if people are unable to come due to government restrictions they can have a refund or carry over payments

As part of booking terms and conditions we ask guests to agree to:

  • abide by all government guidelines & rules in relation to Covid-19
  • abide by all Covid-19 related measures that The Greenhouse puts in place to protect staff and guests including wearing PPE where appropriate 
  • Face coverings to be worn in all public areas except when seated in the dining room or seated consuming drinks in the lounges.
  • inform us if they have any Covid-19 symptoms prior to their stay and understand in line with government guidelines they will then need to self-isolate and not come to The Greenhouse. If they are part of a household where someone else has symptoms or they have been advised to self-isolate through the track and trace system, they will need to self-isolate for 10 days before coming to The Greenhouse. 
  • abide by isolation measures should you develop symptoms during your stay at The Greenhouse. 
  • a temperature check on arrival. 
  • their contact details being given to the government’s track and trace team as necessary and us retaining their contact details for a minimum of 21 days.
  • to inform us should you develop Covid-19 symptoms up to 10 days after your departure.
  • to bring your own Bibles and pens.

We trust that these measures reassure you ahead of your stay with us. If you have any questions you are very welcome to contact myself or one of the team.

We look forward to welcoming you to our ‘home from home’.

Mark Strand

Centre Director

How does our programme work?

There are three main times in our calendar:

Led Retreats -These are focused retreats on a specific topic or theme led by speakers who are experts in their field.  There is space within the retreat for both learning and reflection.  When a retreat does not have exclusive use of the house, others are welcome to stay without joining in the retreat itself.  Most retreats run for Mon-Fri or Fri-Sun and some are open to day visitors. 

Time & Space - this is time we set aside in our programme for individual personal retreat for those over 18yrs old.  The house is kept quieter in order to provide an environment that is more conducive to reflection and there are opportunities for worship and healing prayer.  Individuals, couples or small groups are most welcome at this time.  Our Quiet Days and Healing Services are held during Time and Space. You are welcome to come for one night or longer.

Open Time - Outside of Time and Space we are very much a venue to be used!  We are perfectly located for those wanting to simply get away, use us as a base for exploring the local area or to attend an event locally.  We also welcome families during these times and offer space for a variety of meetings, celebrations, courses and events such as prayer breakfasts or training events whether local or national.  

We will be hosting a variety of different events here next year, look below to find out more about what’s happening here next year. If you would like us to send you our 2020 brochure then email us on [email protected] or give us a call on 01202 764776.


"We have been made to feel so welcome.  It's been a home from home where we have found rest, fun and renewal!"
