The Chellington Centre

Located in the original nave, this large flexible space (13m x 11m), with a new limestone floor, provides a central focal point for a whole host of activities. The original high ceiling creates fantastic acoustics for musical events and the steps to the chancel form a natural stage with spotlights.

The total indoor sleeping capacity is 36: 6 bunkrooms sleeping 4,5 or 6 are situated in the old aisles of the church, a bunkroom situated in the corridor to the washrooms sleeps a further 4 and the Winnie Hall Room converts into sofabeds for a further 6.

Separated from the main hall by large and arched plate-glass doors, the original chancel is now a separate activity room (6m x 5m in size). Up to 30 people can use this large room yet still be near the main hall activities. Ideal break-out room for up to 30 used as for study, drama, music, teaching, presentations, evening cinema room, or buffet set-up at meal times. There are padded benches down either side leaving an activity space between or you can add more lounge or meeting chairs. There are curtains to the main hall.

This versatile room 7.5m x 5m in size with its spectacular semi-circular wall of windows brings the countryside into the centre giving a stunning panoramic view over the Ouse Valley. An inspiring space with great acoustics. Ideal not just as a lounge but for study, great for drama and music workshops, meetings, a meeting and cinema room etc. Ideal for up to 30. There are lounge chairs as a default. It has semi-opaque blinds to all windows and can access directly the centre’s gardens.

It is available for groups with camping added to their booking, our state-of-the art shower and toilet block is housed within our new “Herald Building”, also home to our new Charity admin space. These washrooms, created for campers, feature 4 toilets, 4 sinks and 4 shower cubicles (including a separate disabled shower/toilet). Hot water is moderated in the washrooms to precent scalding.

There is a BBQ, camp fire and sitting/viewing areas in the gardens and adjacent flat field (no cattle in this field and no public access), it is accessed through lockable gate.

This is a superb space for a game of rounders, kite flying, bug hunting or simply running free. In the summer months, a gazebo is up in the field and available for use.

The adjacent games field is a stunning setting to enjoy a multitude of activities as well as overflow camping for larger school groups.

With lovely views across the valley, benches and stumps provide a perfect spot for lunch or enjoying outdoor learning.

School and youth groups have the option to use our Red Kite campsite and new Herald Building to expand their total numbers up to a maximum of 72. The Chellington team are happy to discuss any configuration of indoor and outdoor accommodation that will help you achieve the objectives of your residential.
