Labyrinth
Welcome to our labyrinth! A labyrinth is a like a maze but has just a single winding path from the entrance to the centre. Labyrinths have been used for centuries by Christians and others as a way to slow down, find space, and reflect.

Open Day
On Saturday 11 September we invited the world into our building to see the result of the refurbishment, to mark the completion of the project and to formally thank all those who made it possible, including the organisations that provided grants towards the work.
