We are gearing up for another year of Quiet Gardens at Runcton Manor. Last year was very blessed with a solid core of regulars, as well as always a number of people encountering Quiet Gardens for the first time. There is also a continuation of the programme of rewilding and increasing the biodiversity at Runcton Manor.

People seem to appreciate the Quiet Gardens for the sense of peace and stillness, as well as connecting to nature and their deeper selves – away from the noise and business of everyday life

We will restart Quiet Garden quiet days at Runcton Manor on Wednesday 18th February. Thereafter, they will be on the third Wednesday of every month except August, December and January.

If you’d like to come – and first timers are particularly welcome:Arrive any time after 10.40 for a prompt 11am start. Finish at 1.00pm.
The day includes meditation, as well as the possibility to write, read, explore the grounds and use the labyrinth. Donations invited. We meet whatever the weather, indoors and/or outdoors.

We attach a poster here which gives the dates and other details for the first half of the year. Please feel free to pass it on or print and display wherever you feel may be appropriate.
We hope and look forward to seeing you at the Runcton Manor Quiet Garden in 2026.
