Retreat Centre Description

The community at Brancepeth Castle invite you to experience the peace and healing of the retreat wing of this grand and beautiful building as your backdrop to seeking God. Individuals and small groups can be accommodated for residential retreats, optionally with input from the Community of the Well, specialising in individually guided retreats from 2025. Our non-residential facilities have capacity for large groups to meet. A pattern of daily worship is available between the adjacent church of St Brandon’s and the castle chapel where Holy Communion is celebrated daily. Home-cooked (catered) and self-catering options available. Set in small, quiet grounds in open countryside, close to Durham City, with good public transport links. We are very friendly, approachable and 'ordinary'!
