The chapel is the heartbeat of Rydal Hall. Rydal Hall is not only a place of peace and retreat, but also home to a vibrant praying community. At its heart is the rhythm of daily worship and intercession in the chapel.
In particular, the community prays regularly for our guests, the local villages and the wider world. So you’re warmly encouraged to join them whenever you can.
Our Chaplain, Lawrence Basham, offers spiritual guidance, pastoral care and a welcoming presence to all who visit. Lawrence is an active part of the Rydal Hall team. In addition, he is available by prior arrangement to help groups and individuals with worship and spiritual direction. You can also read his reflections on the Chaplain’s blog.
