Whaley Hall is a large retreat house situated at the gateway of the Peak District National Park with large grounds and open countryside on to the Goyt Valley. We have good walking spots close to Castleton, Buxton and the Hope Valley. Access is easy with Whaley Bridge station just 5 mins walk away and the TransPeak bus service from Nottingham to Manchester Airport.
The hall is open for events all year round; we offer retreats for vocational, diocesan, churches, religious, parish support. We welcome church groups such as music, liturgy, bell-ringing, cycling, art and theological groups. We also welcome universities and theological colleges.

We invite groups, organisations, churches and dioceses to come and use our facilities, and grounds. We invite working parties to come and help in the grounds, plant bulbs and enjoy the tranquillity and spirituality of the grounds and Abbey church. We invite people to come for the day or to stay.
