Working Together

It is important, in a world that is rapidly becoming more and more fragmented, to recognise our interdependency and to form links and bonds.

Local Communities

The community is part of the Church of England, and whole-heartedly endorse the Shrinking the Footprint campaign and the Environmental Strategy of the Diocese of Worcester. We would be interested in making contact with any local churches or faith communities that have green groups or want to save energy or generate their own from renewable sources.

We would like to develop links with local organic growers, and anyone interested in growing food, permaculture, biodiversity, and all aspects of sustainability. At present we are more in the position of needing advice than being able to provide it, but would be more than happy to share our experiences and participate in the local community building sustainability in Worcestershire. We will be holding regular work party weeks for anyone who would like to help on the site.

Guests and Visitors

We have a small guest wing and invite individuals wishing to make a quiet private retreat to join us in worshipping God in this beautiful setting.

We ask our guests to be aware of their energy and water usage. For example, to turn off lights when they are not needed, to think about the temperature in the room, and so on. Guests will of course be sharing our meals, and we invite them to join us in our worship, and hope that they take the opportunity to reflect on God’s providential care.

There is ample car parking by the Abbey, but we would like to ask any visitors where possible to travel to Mucknell Abbey by public transport.
