Threshold is open for visitors by appointment. We also organise some special community events for work and play, at which it will be possible for some visitors to join us.
We have capacity for a few people to stay overnight. Also, visitors who live close enough by can come for the day to attend events.
It simplifies matters if all visitors come prepared to self-cater, using our communal kitchen. A communal meal may materialize, however, and sometimes a small donation suggested.
Each visitor will be asked for their mobile number, and will be put in touch with a “go-to” person – someone you can make contact with whilst en route, when you arrive, or while you are here, as necessary.
Please be sure to book (via info@thresholdcentre.org.uk) a reasonable time in advance.
Overnight rates are £20 single and £30 for two sharing.

The Autumn Retreat offers an opportunity for a small group to come together, slow down, and enjoy the autumn, with some time outside when weather permits and round a cosy fire at other times. There will be time for reflection, alone and in groups, and share meditation. There will be vegetarian food to enjoy, and help in the preparation if you wish. The workshop starts with supper on Friday 22nd November and finishes after lunch on Sunday 24th. We will fine tune the programme together to meet participants needs, and we expect it will include a Dance of Universal Peace and some shared music. There is no fee for the weekend but donations to help cover food and accommodation etc are welcome. For further information and booking form, please contact Michael .
