Welcome to Ammerdown
Welcome to our sanctuary of peace, set in the heart of beautiful Somerset countryside, just 12 miles south of Bath and 16 miles from Bristol. Offering our guests space and time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, our retreat centre nestles in the grounds of Ammerdown Park, where our guests can relax in the garden or wander further afield through woodland and open countryside. With home cooked food, forty bedrooms and fully equipped meeting rooms, we are an ideal venue for people to meet together or enjoy an individual stay.
Congratulations to Dame Sarah Mullally - the new Archbishop of Canterbury
The Ammerdown Centre congratulates Dame Sarah Mullally, Bishop of London and former NHS Chief Nurse, on becoming the new Archbishop of Canterbury - the first woman to be chosen for this role.
We pray for Sarah as she takes up the spiritual leadership of the Church of England and the worldwide Anglican Communion. In her first public statement since the announcement, Dame Sarah whilst acknowledging the challenges of our time and those facing the Church of England, also pointed to her ongoing commitment to bring people together across deep divides -
"Hatred and racism of any kind, cannot be allowed to tear us apart".
We welcome Dame Sarah's appointment and look forward to working with her on issues of peace and reconciliation in the Church and in the world.

Leaders today face particularly difficult challenges. The commitment to inspire others while also increasing productivity and balancing the needs of their organisation can leave leaders feeling depleted. Long hours and countless demands often result in a deep need for renewal.
This programme is for anyone facing difficult leadership challenges, and for those who are looking for a fresh approach to leadership amidst longer working hours and increasing demands.
