A cosy bunkbarn with extra space for workshops or group activities
August 26th 2019
Rookhow Bunkbarn in the Lake District has a large hall which can be hired alongside the bunkbarn. Perfect for many uses, from music making to yoga, parties to seminars & extra sleeping to the 16 bunks.
With the uncertainty of good weather, even in the summer months, renting Rookhow Bunkbarn together with its neighbouring Quaker Meeting House hall makes a lot of sense. You can organise all manner of workshops, group activities, seminars and celebrations in the knowledge that you have a warm dry venue whatever the weather! If your group is more than 16, then some can also sleep in the Meeting House. (BYO mats and bedding).
13 acres of undisturbed woodland with campfire to yourselves.
August 20th 2019
Rookhow Bunkbarn in the Lake District has its own ‘Quaker Wood’, a hidden gem, brimming with wildlife. A haven to explore and play or just ‘be’. What better reason do you need to stay?
There’s a woodland trail, a climbing tree, a hidden yurt (not usable at the moment) and an upturned boat. You are free to use the woods. Many groups use the woods for workshops such as mindfulness, foraging and forest schools’ training. Families and friends enjoy it as an undisturbed place to spend time together.
