The tranquil beauty of Park Place provides an ideal setting for concentrated thought and reflection for the many individuals and groups who come each year to recharge their spiritual batteries. We welcome approaches from organizations who wish to hold a retreat or spiritual course at Park Place. In addition we mount in-house retreats in the Catholic tradition, to challenge and extend our love of Christ and the Christian faith.
We also offer 'Prayer Days' for individuals who wish to withdraw from the hectic pace of life for a day to spend time in personal prayer and reflection.
Parishes, schools and groups of all denominations will find an ideal environment for their retreat needs. The flexible meetings rooms can be set up for discussion or exercise such as yoga, and an artist’s studio is available. The acoustics in our beautiful chapel are a great resource for any retreat with a musical element.
The wide variety of accommodation available at Park Place will make your stay affordable. For further information, please contact conferences@parkplacecentre.org.uk
