Epiphany House, a Conference and Retreat Centre set on the outskirts of Truro. The House is run by the Epiphany Trust, an ecumenical Christian charity. This historic building provides large and versatile facilities in a strategic location. The house offers a variety of meeting rooms, overnight accommodation and a chapel, and is widely used both by individuals, church and public sector groups for a
wide range of activities. These include: meetings, training courses, quiet days and retreats, rehearsal space for local music and dance groups, meeting space for art groups and various clubs, consulting rooms for counsellors and therapists, and a venue for special celebrations. Our aim is to make the fullest and most effective use of these facilities to. We are committed to offering:
• A wide range of facilities to the whole community
• A centre for spiritual retreat and renewal
• A resource for Cornish churches to use for Christian Development
We endeavour to offer excellent and warm hospitality and the highest level of service. As a charity we are particularly concerned with helping those who are disadvantaged and we therefore offer special rates and consideration to those who would otherwise not be able to take advantage of our facilities, or who are seeking respite, perhaps from caring for an old or sick relative. We have a partnership with St Petroc’s Society (a charity supporting the homeless) and we have given them space to create a kitchen garden for re-habilitation and produce for their clients. We hope to extend this project to include other charities that may benefit. The house is set in beautiful grounds which are enjoyed by our many visitors and members of the public who regularly walk through them, enjoying the views and the rich variety of wildlife in the grounds. The house is often described by our visitors as a haven of peace, where they can find rest, silence, healing, and solace in their often hectic lives. Epiphany House is one of the largest houses in the City of Truro and is of considerable historic interest. It has served as a vicarage, a Bishop's palace, a boys' school and as a home for the Community of the Epiphany (an Anglican religious order). A number of famous people have passed through our doors, including John Wesley who stayed in the House during one of his preaching tours. It was also home of Edward White Benson, the first Bishop of Truro (and later Archbishop of Canterbury) who devised here the well know Christmas service of nine lessons and carols.
