The Convent Community

Who’s at the Convent? Stroll through the grounds or this website and you’ll discover the studios of individual artists, craftspeople, writers, healers, health practitioners and more. Then there are the small to not-quite-as-small arts and sustainable lifestyle related organisations and practitioners. Plus, there’s the bakery, restaurant, bar, community radio station, glass-blowing studio and lots of inspirational spaces waiting for just the right people…. potters, sculptors, chocolate makers, quilters, book binders…. who knows? Contact us, or them!

The Convent community gathers every July to celebrate St Heliers Day
with a handbag throwing competition.
