Welcoming Your Events at Gaunts House
Small to Large Groups
Here at Gaunts we have the capacity to host groups large and small, enough workshop spaces, and bedrooms in the house and stable-block, plus camping, to welcome most events. There are exclusive use options available, and discounted prices on larger groups.
As well as having your own retreat workshop room, there are various shared areas around the main house and grounds. These include the Drawing Room and Old Hall, Dining Room, Bar, Gardens, huge woodland grounds, swimming pool and much besides.
Group Sizes
Once you have determined what size your group/course will be, we can discuss the best place to host you. Each booking comes with one of our workshop rooms. The Barn Theatre is our largest workshop space, the Ball Room our most elegant, the Library our most peaceful, and the squash court, a satellite space in the stable block.

Useful Information
Groups can arrive from 3.30pm onwards on arrival day and leave by 3.30pm on the departure day.
Meals are vegetarian. Gaunts has a beautiful walled garden in which we try to grow as much as we can to support our community, groups and courses. We offer different menu options and can work with you to produce an ideal meal plan to align with the nature of your group. We can provide for Vegans and special diets. Fish and fowl are options which cost a little extra.
The majority of our rooms are situated in the main house on the 1st and 2nd floors. The first floor rooms are elegant, mostly en-suite and spacious. Our second floor rooms are simpler and can sleep up to 30 people.
In the evening the doors are locked at 10.00pm. There is a back door and gates with a code lock that can be shared with your participants. Extensions can be arranged.
If tutors / group leaders arrange and arrive before lunch on the day prior to their course starting, we give them that early settling-in day, freely.
