Day-to-day, our buildings and facilities operate as a social enterprise, hosting multi-day residential retreats, workshops, conferences and similar events on a commercial basis for groups of up to 100 delegates. Our regular clients include university departments, legal and medical training bodies, and many other public sector, private sector, and not-for-profit organisations. 

We use the profits from our operations to fund our team of educational experts, who work tirelessly to design and deliver our own ongoing programme of educational activities. Every conference and event booking helps to support this work.

How we work

We provide a tranquil environment for challenging discussions using bespoke facilitation methods, tried and tested over the years but continuing to evolve to meet changing needs and circumstances.

Our mission

We can’t change what we don’t understand. That’s why, in a world of extreme inequality and political polarisation, we believe it’s not our differences that divide us, but our inability to recognise, discuss, debate and respect those differences.

Our history

The history of Cumberland Lodge as an educational charity begins in 1947, but the history of Cumberland Lodge the building dates back much further.
