Covid-19: Activities Update

We have suspended most of our public activities in the interests of Public Health and are closely following the unfolding advice on the Corona virus from the UK Government and Public Health England.   Please check for any upcoming events we can offer. Also remember to take time for self reflection and meditation, as a calm mind is very helpful at such times.  Thank you for your continued support.

Here is video detailing progress of the refurbishment

Take a look at the glorious grounds! Come and experience for yourself – current covid guidelines permitting of course.

At the moment we are closed and beavering away behind the scenes on essential renovations so you can enjoy this magnificent place again as soon as possible.

Around the world the Brahma Kumaris work in local communities in more than 120 countries, teaching Raja Yoga Meditation as a way of life to experience peace of mind and a positive approach to life.
