Come and See - we welcome visitors

Hospitality and serving the local communities are very much a part of our way of life here at St Augustine's Abbey, Chilworth. St Benedict makes it very clear that we should see every individual as a reflection of Christ himself. Whether you are visiting us as a group to celebrate a devotion, a family to enrich your prayer life, or as an individual responding to God's call, you are most welcome.
