The Chapel is the spiritual heart of Shallowford House and has a very special sense of beauty and peace. There are prayer resources for your use and a small prayer room that is equipped for private use. Our Open Programme includes led Quiet Days throughout the year and these can be booked via the office.

Private or individual retreats are a time to step aside from the busyness of life to be alone with God. There is no set programme and availability is limited to times when the house is not being used by groups. Please contact the office for available dates.

Retreats are for anyone seeking time alone with God, wherever you are on your spiritual journey. You will be encouraged to be still and spend time in God’s presence. During your stay, you will be well fed and given space to be by yourself. Many people find that taking time out on a retreat becomes a significant milestone in their Christian life.

During retreat time, guests are welcome to walk in the gardens or use any of our art resources. The house is your space to rest in God.
