We are pleased to offer Oak Hall's Manor to churches and Christian organizations who share our aims for their weekends away and mid-week conferences.
We are an ideal venue for your events with extensive grounds including a walled garden - which in the summer months can be used for camping. For more information about camping, please visit our link here.
From the Terrace Lounge you may enjoy stunning views out over the
valley. Comfortably furnished and equipped with Wi-Fi, electric piano,
drum kit and guitars, sound system and ceiling mounted projector. It will accommodate a group of over 100, and yet a group of
30 will also feel at home. We have the Oak Hall Song Book and NIV Bibles
available. Fresh coffee is served at various times throughout the day. At other
times a kettle and fridge are available for self-service.
The Tudor Lounge, set up with soft chairs, DVD & TV
monitor, is suitable for groups of up to thirty. This versatile meeting area is immediately adjacent to the Tudor Dining Hall and can easily be transformed as
an additional dining area.
A further meeting room is the Oak Hall Year Study Centre, which
on occasions is also available for smaller groups. Being adjacent to the
Terrace Lounge it may be used as a crèche, a teaching area or for quiet
prayer.
The Dining Hall, an old Tudor Barn full of character,
with ancient oak beams, is warmed in winter by a glowing log fire. The Oak Hall
kitchens are renowned for the excellence of the meals. We pride ourselves on
providing the very best of traditional English meals and culinary delights with
a wide range of flavours and recipes from around the world.
Tucked away, yet on hand there is a small kitchenette equipped
with fridge, microwave, kettle and sink. This is available for guests to make drinks, or for families to heat jars of baby food for their little
ones.
Groups that come here
generally do so on a residential & catered for basis. We are able to
accommodate 75 residential guests, over three accommodation areas, with a
mixture of single and twin rooms with additional family rooms with bunk beds
for two, four six or eight. Each bedroom has a wash basin, with showers and
WC's located along each corridor.
Open to all groups is our Manor Bookshop. This is well
stocked with a wide range of Christian books, commentaries and Bible study
aids. If your church is having teaching on a particular subject for your
weekend, we can ensure, with sufficient notice, that there are books that would
be helpful to your fellowship.
Otford Manor's position in the heart of a nationally recognised Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, provides the perfect place to re-connect with the beauty of God's creation. 150 acres of the manor's grounds provide opportunities to explore the extensive woodland, find a quiet spot for contemplation and enjoy the stunning and far reaching views over Kent. Situated on the North Downs, there are plenty of local walks and options to cycle along quiet lanes to pretty villages.
All who come here are assured of a warm and friendly welcome from our Oak Hall team. We always encourage group organizers to come and have a look around the Manor, as we find having a visual image of the facilities aids sharing the idea of and indeed planning for a time away.
