Launde Abbey is the perfect place to bring your own group on retreat – from the smallest cell group or church leadership team to a larger retreat in the dozens drawn from your church, ministry or network.
We offer excellent accommodation and food alongside a range of beautiful meeting spaces, some large and some more intimate. And while here your retreat group can:
- Draw on the prayerful stillness of the ancient Chapel
- find a number of smaller chapels, prayer spaces and quiet nooks around the buildings and gardens
- Join the community for daily worship
- Walk the labyrinths or explore the outdoor stations of the cross
- Enjoy fellowship or prayer together in the outside worship area (around the fire pit at night, if you prefer!)
- Make the most of the surrounding countryside
- Soak in the profound prayerfulness and stillness around the Abbey
- Savour delicious, home-cooked meals thoughtfully prepared using fresh, locally sourced ingredients-whether in the dining room or café
- Experience warm hospitality in a welcoming environment, whether you’re here for a retreat, a group event, or just visiting the café
- And so much more!
