Woodbrooke

A peaceful urban retreat awaits those choosing to stay overnight at Woodbrooke.

Woodbrooke is Europe’s only Quaker Study Centre, offering adult education since 1903. We also offer bed and breakfast accommodation, and hire out our elegant meeting rooms for conferences.

Woodbrooke has Birmingham’s largest organically managed garden and many of the fruits, herbs and vegetables grown in the Victorian walled garden go into the delicious home cooked meals.

Woodbrooke, is set in 10 verdant acres of organically managed grounds and employs an equally green policy in its role as a conference and education facility.

Quakers have always objected to exploitation of people and the environment and consequently visitors to Woodbrooke can be reassured that we make every effort to function ethically and without harming the planet. We use fairtrade products wherever possible, as well as organic food suppliers and eco-friendly cleaning products.

Our Victorian walled kitchen garden produces organic fruit, vegetables and herbs which are served up in our dining room. We source our food suppliers from among local organic farms and free-range meat wholesalers. Our recycling policy is not just comprehensive, it is inventive, encompassing everything from toilet paper to light bulbs!
