Welcome to  the calming atmosphere of the Earthspirit Centre. We'll be organising a four-day residential here in March at this wonderful venue, a converted barn complex in the secluded Somerset countryside in the lee of Dundon Hill, an iron-age hill fort. The Centre is not far from the M5 and the A303 and the nearest train station is Castle Cary.

You have the joys of a hot tub and a sauna, delicious vegetarian food, walking up Dundon Hill or Lollover Hill and the treat of visiting the alternative atmosphere of Glastonbury. The Hot Tub complex and Sauna will be available. There will be beautifully prepared vegetarian food and special diets on request (a charge may apply). The Centre is accessible by wheelchair.

Accommodation is in well appointed single, twin and multiple occupancy rooms, some with en-suite. Limited camping and camper facilities are also available.

Venue

The Centre is situated in a beautiful landscape between two nature reserves; and just two minutes walk from St Andrew's church with it's yew in the churchyard of 1,800 years old. The seventeenth century farm buildings have been carefully restored and specially converted set within seven acres of fields and gardens.

The complex is based around a converted long barn with oak timbers, reed lining and stone walls. The feeling is medieval but with modern comforts such as under-floor heating and a large wood stove.

A hot water tub and sauna are available.  

 

Single rooms, double and en-suite rooms are available as well as shared accommodation.

The venue provides delicious vegetarian food with porridge, cereal and eggs for breakfast, soup and salad for lunch and a substantial evening meal. Special diets are catered for on request to the organisers (an extra charge may apply).
