A retreat is your chance to step aside from life for a while, to rest and just 'be' in a welcoming, peaceful place.
Ripon College Cuddesdon
Retreat Centre Description
The Cuddesdon Retreat and Conference Centre offers warm hospitality and a peaceful space in the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside to take time apart from the routine and pressures of everyday life.
Located within a renowned theological college, there is also the opportunity in term-time to share in the life of the students, joining them for meals and worship, and if you wish, to use our educational resources for study.
Accommodation on Offer
The College has a variety of meeting rooms to accommodate different sizes and types of event from 2 - 80 people.
Our dedicated Retreat Centre has 14 bedrooms - 13 single en-suite rooms plus one double fully-accessible bedroom with a wet-room bathroom - arranged over 3 floors served by a lift. If groups need more bedrooms, we use rooms in adjoining buildings. We also offer 5 self-contained flats for self-catered or sabbatical stays.
The award-winning Edward King Chapel is available for worship, along with other worship spaces including the original Wilberforce Chapel and forest church.
