The House of Bread

The House of Bread is a Christian retreat and conference centre set within a restored historic mill in the Warwickshire countryside. It provides a peaceful setting for organisers planning retreats, prayer gatherings, Christian conferences, teaching weekends, workshops and small group events.

Groups can book the venue for day visits or residential stays, with accommodation available for up to 36 guests in en-suite bedrooms. The centre also offers meeting rooms for groups of up to around 50 people, making it suitable for seminars, discussion sessions, worship programmes, leadership gatherings and quiet days away from everyday distractions. Larger group enquiries can be discussed directly with the team, depending on the required spaces and dates.

The venue combines practical event facilities with a calm rural environment. Guests have access to extensive grounds and gardens, which provide opportunities for reflection, informal conversations and outdoor time between sessions. The site includes a large meeting space in the renovated barn, alongside other areas for gathering, teaching and fellowship.

The House of Bread is particularly suited to organisers looking for a purpose-led venue with accommodation, hospitality and space for spiritual renewal. Its setting in the Cotswolds, close to Shipston-on-Stour and within reach of Birmingham, Oxford and London, makes it accessible for groups travelling from across central England. Bookings are focused on retreats, Christian discipleship and related gatherings rather than general holiday stays or social parties.
