For groups we have a variety of meeting rooms to accommodate from 2 to 50 people.
Our spaces can be used for meetings of all kinds including training, guided retreats, presentations, management away days, art exhibitions and more. Our smaller rooms are perfect for counselling or spiritual direction.
Current users of the centre include public sector or charitable organisations involved in education and healthcare, businesses, church groups and other charities.
Rooms can be booked per session (morning, afternoon and/or evenings).
A recent art exhibition held in the Guest House attracted over 200 visitors over a weekend.

Can I get lunch at the centre?

What are your opening hours?
The centre is generally open from 9am to 5pm when we have guests booked. If you need to start earlier or stay later, please contact us and we will arrange this if possible.
Is there anything you do not permit on site?
We expect guests to conduct themselves in a way that does not disturb others’ enjoyment of the Centre.
We do not permit events where alcohol will be the main focus – this is not the place for that kind of party.
The individual study rooms on the first floor of the guest house are to be kept quiet. They are not suitable for on-line meetings or phone calls. We do have other spaces which can be used by individuals for these purposes.
The centre and grounds are non-smoking.

Do you have audio visual equipment available for groups?
We have large screens in each of the meeting rooms to which you can connect a laptop. We also have flip charts and pens in each larger room. We have a Bluetooth speaker for sound enhancement from a phone, tablet or laptop which has Bluetooth capability.
Situated within the grounds of Malling Abbey, St Benedict’s Centre welcomes individuals and groups seeking a place to rest, retreat, study, create, meet and/or work.
