Venue FAQs
Christian organisations, institutions, charities and churches are welcome to hire our venue for their events, conferences, staff retreats, church days, filming, and meetings.
Yarnton Manor is a charitable organization dedicated to scholarship, formation, and reflection. At its heart is the theological library, a resource for the pursuit of wisdom through serious study, thoughtful dialogue, and prayer.
In the Manor House itself we seek to host meetings, lectures, and discussion groups that focus on our mission of equipping pastors, supporting Christian academics, and strengthening faith.
It is outside our charitable remit to host weddings, parties, other special occasion celebrations, and photography.
