Short personal retreats for ministry leaders
We recognise that leaders sometimes need immediate rest and renewal. The Manor’s accommodation options, peaceful rooms, gardens, and surrounding countryside create a restorative setting for short or longer stays. Whether someone needs urgent time away to recover from the pressures of ministry, or simply a quiet place to pray and think, Yarnton provides space to breathe again.Our pastoral staff are also available to meet confidentially with guests, offering time, a listening ear, prayer, and encouragement as needed. The combination of thoughtful events, a supportive environment, and one-to-one care ensures that leaders are not left to carry their burdens alone.Our hope is that every visitor leaves Yarnton Manor strengthened to continue in faithful gospel ministry, refreshed in Christ, and re-equipped for the calling God has placed before them.

Annually
Pastoral Posture
Our annual led and catered group retreat, Pastoral Posture, offers extended space to step back, be refreshed in God’s presence, and rediscover the joy of serving Him with resilience and humility.
This is a time to slow down, listen deeply, and be renewed by the God who speaks – a time to be shaped afresh by His Word and drawn into deeper trust, even in seasons of uncertainty and struggle. Our time consists of 4 talks, but also lots of space and opportunity to pray, respond and reset.
