“For more than 50 years the Ashburnham Christian Trust has run Ashburnham Place as a Christian conference centre and prayer centre. Set in glorious East Sussex countryside it is an ideal venue for church groups, retreats, holidays, conferences and even small festivals. We welcome groups of up to 2000: people attending events run by us, those wanting to pray as well as day groups enjoying pre-booked visits to the grounds and gardens. Since May 2008, we have been responding to a call from God to create a place of continuous led prayer, including times of led worship and prayer as well as praying through the Bible.

Ashburnham is run by a permanent community of resident and non-resident staff, all of whom have a strong personal faith in Jesus Christ. They are supported by a team of young volunteer helpers who come from all over the world to improve their English and develop their faith as they serve God by serving his people. Our mission is to encourage guests and staff to encounter the living God through the Bible, prayer, fellowship and the beauty of creation, and to equip guests and staff to make a more passionate and effective impact for Christ on the local area and the world. However, despite Ashburnham Place charging visitors board and lodging, there is a constant need for renovation and maintenance which is not covered by these fees. We appreciate any donation you can afford, and hope you will come and visit us soon.”
