These peaceful, 3rd Sunday of the month gatherings offer moments of tranquility in a hectic world. Where sound and silence meet in our heritage spaces, creating quietly powerful moments of connection and peace.With heritage, health & wellbeing themes and activities on offer throughout the day, these harmonious Sunday sessions offer a relaxing blend of music, sound healing, walking the labyrinth, a digital detox zone, free healing and more.
Entry and parking are free, and so are some of the activities, whilst some of the sessions and therapies do have an entry fee and will need to be pre-booked.
Whether you’re interested in meditation, healing, meeting like-minded folk or simply being in the ‘now’, we’ve got a whole range of gentle activities to make each third Sunday of the month a real tonic for the soul.

*Whilst every effort is made to keep the programme updated, some sessions can be subject to changes beyond our control. If your heart is set on a particular activity, please contact us to double check the activity is running that day. Thank you, the Monastery team.
