Onsite Accommodation Available for Visiting Families

Once a corn mill built by the Jesuits to provide sustenance for the College community, Theodore House now stands on the Stonyhurst estate as a unique proposition for conferences, events, meetings and B&B stays.

Theodore House is the result of a complete and careful restoration of the 1840’s site by The Christian Heritage Centre at Stonyhurst – an independent, Catholic, educational charity – as a study, retreat and conference venue. Architects Cassidy & Ashton secured the 2019 regional Building Excellence award from LABC for their work, which was opened in February 2019 by Lord Nicholas Windsor.

The Stonyhurst family needs no introduction to the beautiful and idyllic backdrop of the College’s estate and the Ribble Valley beyond, but Theodore House offers a unique opportunity for accommodation and events literally on the College’s doorstep.

Besides its use by the charity, Theodore House provides accommodation and a venue for external customers, and as such is of particular interest to anyone with connections to Stonyhurst.

24 ensuite bedrooms, with single or twin occupancy, and a comprehensive continental breakfast provide a fresh, modern and comfortable ambiance for anyone wishing to stay on the Stonyhurst estate. Wi-Fi and complimentary tea/coffee facilities are all standard.

Theodore House’s versatile facilities, together with a variety of catering options, make it ideal for a range of event types and size. A very spacious, modern and light-filled central atrium venue with excellent acoustics is complemented by two meeting rooms on either side. These offer a perfect space for a board meeting or small-scale event.

Whilst offering full sound-proofing and privacy, the partitions with the meeting rooms can be folded away to offer a much larger space for up to 150 persons, ideal for social events and receptions, as well as for conferences, lectures and PR launches. With all the necessary IT and audio-visual equipment, Wi-Fi, ample parking and onsite catering facilities, Theodore House is a flexible and ultramodern venue providing a key element and stunning setting for the success of any event.

Theodore House has already proved itself an invaluable asset to the Stonyhurst community, hosting OS reunions, visiting schools, parents, student retreats and receptions, besides hosting a wide range of events for a growing userbase.

With its picturesque and peaceful location and its superb facilities, Theodore House is a perfect venue, be it for a quiet getaway, a corporate away day, a conference or a special reception.
