About the organisation
The Greenhouse at Barnes Close is an Ecumenical Retreat Centre. We have day and residential retreats, community gatherings and more making space to explore faith and justice, reconciliation and peace.
We have five acres of beautiful grounds and a Cadbury heritage home to care for so that people who really need it can come to rest, reflect and grow.
Join our small growing group of volunteers as we dream, garden, prune, paint, cook, clean, administrate, fix and have a great time together in a peaceful place.
