Rydal Hall gardens and woods, Rydal Hall Cafe Entrance Rydal, LA22 9LX

Soak in nature, share food and conversation around a campfire – all in the beautiful surroundings of Rydal Hall.
October is the month of autumn glory, when Lake District trees glow with ever deepening colour. This month's Sacred Encounter delves into this wonder, using our imagination to enter a mystical world and rediscover a childlike enchantment in nature. We will tell a story together, giving voice to the divinity in everything.
Meet at Rydal Hall Café entrance. Please bring food to share for a Jacob’s Join lunch and wear suitable clothing.

St Oswald's Grasmere

A very warm "Welcome!" to St Oswald's Church, Grasmere

We are in the heart of the central Lake District, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. St Oswald's is a medieval church on a 7th century site - a sacred place of prayer and celebration since the earliest days of christianity in northern Britain. William Wordsworth with his wife Mary and sister Dorothy Wordsworth rest in our churchyard along with their family and villagers. 

Locals and visitors "belong" here, both for quiet reflection and the joy of communal worship and music on Sundays and festivals. 

Join us!
