The Retreat
( Location- Horsham 5 miles. Guildford 15 miles. 40minutes drive from Heathrow and 30 minutes from Gatwick.)

Set in 7 acres of idyllic rolling Sussex countryside and surrounded by unspoilt woods and fields, The Old Farmhouse is a fine 16th century listed house full of charm and history. The great English poet, Shelley, spent part of his early childhood here.

The Old Farmhouse was acquired by the Robertsons in 1997 to realise their dream of creating a quiet and beautiful place that could be developed into a centre dedicated to music and the arts - where visitors from around the world can come to experience an enrichment and healing of their mind, body and spirit.
Currently, the flexible accommodation is suitable for small-scale workshops, seminars and concerts.

Teddy Bears' Picnic in Shelley's Barn, May 2009

The oak-timbered Shelley Barn, fully restored and centrally heated, can seat up to 100 people. The Little Barn Theatre can hold up to 50 and is ideal for lectures and catered events. Music Mind Spirit is the crystallisation of the life experience to date of Paul and Chika Robertson -as musicians, teachers and idealists. The Trust is the means by which they can pass on their vision of how powerfully music can benefit others in all areas of life.

It is not only people that seek refuge in the Trust outbuildings!
