Wydale Hall is the Retreat and Conference Centre for the Diocese of York. Situated between Pickering and Scarborough on the edge of the North York Moors, Wydale is the ideal spot for your church conference, your small group time away or your own personal retreat. Wydale is owned and operated by the Diocese of York, with Jesus Christ at the centre and caters for groups from all over the country.

Worship

Worship lies at the very core of wydale life. We truly believe that we can worship anywhere, anytime. As well as having beautiful grounds and general facilities for you to explore and enjoy we have a range of chapels and rooms for you to make use of as you worship on your own or with your group.

Our large chapel is an excellent place for your group to gather together for a time of prayer and worship. The room comfortably seats around 60 people.
Our small chapel is ideal for individuals or small groups to pray, reflect and spend time with God. The room comfortably seats 20 people.

Dining

Eating together is an integral part of any retreat, either as individuals or as a group. We endeavour to make sure that our meals always contribute to your stay with us and add to the whole experience of your visit. Our dining hall comfortably seats 60-70 guests.

Rest

Many visitors to Wydale come for a time of rest. Rest takes many forms, be it a quiet read in the library, prayer in the chapel, a walk in the countryside or a relaxed time with friends in the bar. We hope we provide for whatever form of rest you need the most.

Gathering

As well as coming for a peaceful time, we love to see Christians coming together and pursuing God as a community. We have sought to create spaces that help your group to learn and laugh together. Our conference room, main hall and lounge are perfect for this. The Conference Room will comfortably seat 50 people. Upstairs we have another small conference room overlooking the valley which will seat 20-30 people.
