What's On

We are delighted now to be open and welcoming guests through our doors once again. Our bookings office is now open 9am-6pm Monday - Saturday. You can call us on (01202) 764776 or book online. We look forward to welcoming you back. 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.

Following the easing of restrictions on 19th July our overriding focus is on ensuring that all guests show consideration for each other and understanding that many will still feel concern at coming away. Although we are not now requiring guests or staff to wear face coverings in public areas we are asking that all guests show respect for those who wish to. All team members will have a face mask with them and will gladly wear it should you feel more comfortable them doing so. Breakfast will be buffet style but sanitiser stations and gloves will be available to prevent infection. Food will be covered.

We recognise that you will want to know we are doing everything we can to keep our guests and staff team safe. A range of measures remain in place as follows and you can rest assured that your safety is our highest priority. 

• Enhanced cleaning regimes in public areas and bedrooms
• Temperature checks on arrival
• Sanitiser stations at entrances and throughout the building
• One guest on each dining room table unless you are part of the same group or household
• Reduced numbers of rooms being let out unless part of same household or group
• No day events to keep overall guest numbers on site at a safe level
• 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. 
• 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/or receive a negative Covid-19 test before coming 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/get tested in line with government guidelines. 
• 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. (We will continue to operate track & trace beyond 16 August). 
• contacting us should they develop Covid-19 symptoms within 10 days of 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’.

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.
