Woodbrooke is Europe’s only Quaker Study Centre and is open to those of all faiths, and none. We aim for every visitor to leave refreshed, renewed and inspired, which is supported by the care that we give to all of our guests and the sense of community alongside the space and freedom to be alone. Set in ten acres of organically-managed gardens and woodland, Woodbrooke offers a ‘countryside in the city’ experience for those who wish to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet want to be in a convenient location and within easy reach of Birmingham and the West Midlands. Woodbrooke was founded on the Quaker principles of peace, equality, simplicity, truth and sustainability that inform everything that Woodbrooke staff and volunteers do. The building is the Grade II listed former home of chocolate-maker, Quaker and entrepreneur George Cadbury, and offers comfortable bedrooms, a labyrinth, a silent/meditation room, a Victorian Walled Garden, a boating lake, delicious food and opportunities to attend Quaker meetings for worship. Woodbrooke also offers a well-stocked library (accessible 24/7) and free Wi-Fi access.
