Visit a Community
Hospitality and welcoming guests is a key part of the lives of many communities. There are lots of different ways to share in the life of a community – you might choose to visit for the day, (often called ‘quiet days’), spend a week or so on retreat with a community, or spend a longer period of a couple of weeks or months as an alongsider. All communities offer different forms of hospitality and you find details in their websites.

You can find a comprehensive list of communities on the Directory Page of the Anglican Religious Life Yearbook website.

Other Retreat Centres
There are also retreat centres across the UK that aren’t associated with a residential, traditional religious community. You can find a full list of places from many Christian denominations on The Retreat Association’s website.
