Shallowford House Retreat & Conference Centre in Staffordshire is an outstanding centre of choice for retreats, training, conferences and social gatherings that offers accessible Christian hospitality to individuals, groups and communities. This stunning 19th-century building is set in beautiful gardens and its central location makes it the ideal meeting point.

Garden Working Party July 2023

What a transformation in 4 days! Shallowford House Team is so grateful to our hard-working and cheerful volunteer gardeners. Mowing and weeding, digging and planting, deconstructing and building, tidying and recycling – so much was achieved during our July 2023 Garden Working Party. Many areas of our 9 acre site have been impacted by their labours this time around, from lawns to flowerbeds, archery venue and labyrinth, to new large wooden crosses, fencing and hedges. Woven into the time they shared on site was a rhythm of worship and prayer, fellowship over hearty meals, and deepening friendships full of mutual support and laughter. Departing somewhat weary but with a great sense of accomplishment, they are all looking forward to the next event in October. Perhaps joining in would give you some of the joy they experienced this time. Have a look at our photos!

Journey Deeper

The ministry of Shallowford House has been a great blessing to me, my team and our ministry as we’ve stayed with you four times over the past two years. Our ministry, Journey Deeper, provides spiritual formation training for long-term cross-cultural missionaries who are in need of soul care and refreshment after years on the field. Shallowford House has been like coming home for us – a place of quiet, beauty, and rest where our group can meet with the Lord and each other for refreshment and learning.  The house is perfectly suited for us with the conference room as well as numerous smaller meeting rooms where we can meet a smaller groups for more in-depth conversation. The meals at Shallowford House are SO delicious, the chef is amazing at accommodating for special diets, and the coffee machine is a hit with our guests coming from overseas and wanting a really good cup of coffee.

As the director of Journey Deeper, it has been a joy to work with Claire and Simon. They are prompt and responsive to emails and accommodate our needs with grace. Each time we stay at Shallowford House they welcome us as family and ensure all our guests are comfortable and feel at home.

We would love to hear from you
