Be still and find rest at our hidden chapel and peaceful garden on the edge of Sheffield and the Peak District. Whirlow Spirituality Centre is a Christian day retreat centre. A safe place of quiet and peace for reflection, where all are welcome. Click here to find out more about the quiet spaces we have available for you to use. You can find out more about our purpose and values here.
The centre is managed by a partnership of Whirlow Grange Limited, a charitable company that manages the Centre and has a grant-making function and All Saints Church in Ecclesall. Our board members and directors are among those listed here.
Safeguarding is at the heart of our Christian faith and we are committed to offering a safer environment for all. All Centre staff and volunteers receive regular training in the safeguarding of children, young people and vulnerable adults.
Join our weekly service in the chapel, overseen by volunteer ministers from various Christian denominations
Space to be before God; to relax, reflect and pray and so to renew your spiritual resources. These days are limited to ten people onsite but may be blended (online and onsite.) on occasions.
Opportunity to practise, share and learn.
Many are drawn to silent prayer, meditation, centering prayer, contemplation ... for that purpose, we run Praying Without Words via Zoom each month.
Contemplative Dialogue is designed to facilitate a non-threatening, ‘safe place’ for open sharing and discussion. The focus is on listening to ourselves and others, rather than formulating a response to what is being said.
Join us for 6 sessions in Lent as together we reflect on the writings and teachings of different Christian mystics.
Space to Reflect is a reflective service led by members of the Whirlow community.
An evening of sacred music for the season of Lent
On Maundy Thursday evening you are invited to join us as we share a simple meal, retell the story of the final night of Jesus’ earthly life, reflect on its meaning for us today and finally join in a silent vigil as we watch and pray together.
You are welcome to the Chapel on Good Friday at 10am as we reflect on the events of that day using the Stations of the Cross as our focus.
Following in the steps of Jesus’ friends and disciples we will gather early in our garden and light a new fire and first candle of Easter in celebration of the resurrection.
You can find our bookings and cancellation policy here.
