A period of quiet meditation for all Christian denominations and none. No need to book. Typically, around ten or more lay people attend from all ages and backgrounds. 

There is also the opportunity for those attending in person to join the Abbey's Benedictine monks for the Divine Office of COMPLINE in the Abbey Church at 8.30pm to 8.50pm immediately afterwards, normally notated with sung Gregorian Chant and concluded with a blessing by Fr Abbot for all present with holy water.

Going up the hill from Chilworth railway station, please turn right at the first road entrance marked by a large Crucifix up the hill to the Abbey Church. Parking is freely available there. Then, please take the footpath to the rear of the monastery until you reach the statue of Our Lady at the end of the paved path. The Assisi Room is through the rear entrance door next to Our Lady, first right once you are inside the building.
