About us The Princethorpe Retreat and Conference Centre is a house of welcome, freedom, peace and warmth. Only four miles from the southern edge of Coventry, it is easy to reach yet feels far removed from the pressure of everyday life. It is situated in inviting Warwickshire countryside amongst open fields and bluebell woods, with a wonderful vista from the front door. As a Conference and Seminar venue, the Centre has a private, spacious "away-from-it-all" feeling that facilitates individual and group reflection, communication and creativity. These can all contribute to more effective decision-making. As a centre of Spirituality, we seek to respond to the needs of individuals and groups. Peoples of all faiths and none are welcome in their search for the more important things in life, companionship, compassion, renewal, nourishment and growth. We run an organised programme. The house is also available for private bookings by groups and organisations. Knowing the love of God revealed in the Heart of Christ, we offer this special place to promote a holistic spirituality that is creative and life giving. Comments from our visitor's book...
