New Brochure

Our new brochure is now available.

Over the past six months various members of the committee and staff team have been working hard to compile our new brochure.  It summarises all the essential information you would need when considering a visit to Marrick Priory.

The A5 brochure is full of photos and includes sections on: the activities we offer, our facilities, your stay, the new high ropes course as well as details of how to book and our insurance and licensing information.

If you would like to request a copy of the brochure please contact the office.

Donations and New Build

 

For the last 3+ years the Board have been tenaciously working towards securing planning permission for a new building to replace the existing bungalow. It has been a process during which the emotions of hope and disappointment seemed for long periods to be very finely balanced.

Such a testing process was in many ways understandable, given our unique site which has Scheduled Ancient Monument status. The design therefore needed to be highly sensitive to the site, while also achieving our desired specifications. Much negotiation was required with the National Park Authorities and English Heritage.

Everybody associated with The Priory was therefore thrilled that Planning Permission was eventually granted in 2010.

In summary the building will incorporate on the Ground Floor – 4 x ensuite double guest rooms, Common Room, Changing Room, Kit storage areas, Staff kitchen and lounge. Whilst the First Floor will consist of 4 x ensuite rooms for instructors.

With costs provisionally projected to exceed £800,000, the financial challenge is daunting, and is certainly not being underestimated.

Hopes are high that we shall be able to convert the design into reality, and thereby ensure that The Priory can continue to educate and support our numerous young visitors for many years to come.

Robin Hood

Robin Hood featured today at Marrick Priory.  We spent to day doing Archery, Zip Wire and High All Aboard as part of a birthday celebration for a visiting group.  We would like to take this opportunity to remind people that as well as being a residential we also offer day bookings on a one-off and weekly basis.
