North Lawn - BBQ

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

South Lawn - Camping & Games

The adjacent games field with no public access is a stunning setting to enjoy a multitude of activities as well as overflow camping for larger school groups.  

Winnie Hall Room

Separated from the main hall by large and arched plate-glass doors, the original chancel is now a separate activity room (6m x 4.5m in size).

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.

Upgraded in Autumn 2016 the Winnie Hall Room now has 6 additional beds available for a further 6 people. Each bench has its own light and power socket with USB charger point, there is supplementary fan heaters available at the base of the benches.

Entrance Hall

Kitchen

Our kitchen has been equipped with all the modern equipment you need for self-catering for up to 66.

For bigger events, please contact the Chellington team. Although the Centre is primarily a self-catering facility, we have excellent relationships with local caterers and can arrange external catering on request. Just let us know your requirements when booking.  

A hatch between the kitchen and main hall allows for easy serving.

Ibbett Room

With its spectacular semi-circular wall of windows, the Ibbett Room brings 180^o of sky and countryside into the Centre and offers stunning panoramic views over the Ouse Valley and lakes in the country park below.

This versatile space, 7.5m x 5m in size and carpeted throughout, has great acoustics and is ideal not just as a lounge but for study, drama and music workshops, meetings or as a cinema room.

 Great for up to 30, there are 20 padded lounge chairs as a default. It has semi-opaque blinds to all windows and has direct access to the Centre’s gardens. 

Main Hall

Located in the original nave, this large flexible space (13m x 6m max) provides a central focal point for a whole host of activities.

Tables and chairs can be configured as required for dining or desk based activities (theatre style for up to 80 people). Original high ceiling provides fantastic acoustics for musical events. 14 go-pac tables seat six or eight comfortably with padded fold-out chairs (38 as our standard default or up to 90 on request)

Bedrooms

The bunkrooms are situated in the old aisles of the church in the main hall. Each room is separated by 4m high oak and formica wall panels topped with thick opaque glass, nearly ceiling-high for privacy. The partition wall facing the hall is 2.5m high and without glass, creating a unique open yet private experience. All but one has leaded windows to the gardens with black out blinds.

All beds are singles, 80cm wide, with deep sprung mattresses set in a strong and reliable metal and formica frame (similar to a train couchette or ferry experience). Each is crafted around the original features of the stone work, and has its own bed light, shelf, clothing peg and easy access to power sockets. Bag storage is limited; above and under the beds.

The Winnie Hall room, primarily a flexible lounge with built-in sofas can be readily converted into 6 sofa beds to create an ad hoc bedroom. Each bed is compartmented with oak roll ends and has its own light and power socket with USB charger point; none are elevated. Fan heaters are built into the base of the benches. For privacy, there are curtains inside the plate glass doors to the main hall. The doors swing inwards or outwards. This space is useful as a leaders’ base room, particularly if your group benefits from monitoring with the ‘ear’ of a leader. There is semi-opaque privacy vinyl up to 2.5m of exterior windows but no blinds currently. 

Bed & Mattress Sizes
Please note that the bed sizes in bunkrooms 4, 5, and 6 are slightly smaller.
