Parcevall Hall
Retreat Centre Description
Parcevall Hall is the retreat house of the Diocese of Leeds, situated in the Yorkshire Dales National Park in the scenic valley of Wharfedale.
We welcome day and residential guests all year round, and a warm welcome awaits you here. Guests enjoy the hospitality, tranquillity and peace of the Hall, its glorious gardens, excellent food and the fellowship of like-minded guests. Our retreat programme includes a wide range of faith-based retreats as well as arts and wellbeing retreats; we also host private groups who want to run their own retreats.

Accommodation on Offer
Parcevall Hall has 17 charming, clean and simple but comfortable bedrooms which can accommodate up to 26 people, and also six public rooms.
The Milner Room is the largest meeting area that comfortably accommodates groups of up to 25 people. It is equipped with a recently updated AV system supported by high speed wifi and is suitable for retreats, conferences and hybrid meetings. It is a light, bright space with a wall of windows facing a beautiful view, and regularly hosts art exhibitions. It is situated downstairs with easy access from the archway entrance.
The Solar Lounge is a welcoming and comfortable room with armchairs, a library, a small gift shop and a bar for guests. The door from the lounge leads onto a private terrace, where you can sit and look out over the gardens to the rocky peak of Simon’s Seat.
All meals are served in the Dining Room, which is one of the oldest parts of the Hall. A gong is rung to call guests to meals where they sit together around large wooden tables engendering a warm sense of community.
On the first floor there is the Writing Room which is a quiet space for individuals to enjoy and St Cuthbert’s Room which offers a smaller, more intimate meeting room for groups of up to eight people. The Hall Chapel is located on the first floor.
All guests have free access to 24 acres of formal and woodland gardens.
