The school retreat experience allows young people to develop confidence to be themselves, understand their gifts and the meaning of their faith in their lives. The gentle, relaxed and fun atmosphere provides the backdrop to make new friendships and strengthen old ones.

Our dedicated space for school groups is within Alban Roe House, situated to the west of the Abbey estate, with magnificent views over the valley. Perfect for both residential stays and school day trips, the building features dormitory accommodation as well as single en-suite rooms, meeting rooms, activity rooms, a Chapel and a kitchenette.
