Knock Shrine has always been a welcoming place for young people.
The uniqueness of the Shrine and its peaceful atmosphere open up opportunities for them to explore their relationship with God through age-appropriate faith programmes and activities.
The pods have a uniquely curved shape, blending seamlessly into their peaceful, mature woodland setting. Comforting and luxurious, these pods envelop you in a calming space that provides an experience to remember. Each pod is manufactured from Accoya wood, sourced from fast-growing sustainable forests. Accoya has a notably low carbon footprint and is entirely recyclable.
All come with smart technology, high spec finishes, full ensuite facilities, twin bedded accommodation, controllable ventilation and under-floor heating.
Additional facilities include:
Wi-Fi connectivity with wireless charging points for iPhones
Mood lighting enhances the unique architectural form of the pod
Integrated TV Screens allow for streaming from devices
Smart Control pads for heating, lighting and electric blinds
Tea and coffee making facilities are available on request
The central communal area is the hub of the youth village.
This cheerful open-plan bright space offers a relaxed chill out area for your group.
The large fully equipped, self-catering kitchen offers everything you need to prepare breakfast, lunch and evening meals.
This is an ideal place to meet for meals and group activities.
Additional restroom and shower facilities are available here.
A large meeting room is available here also for group workshops.
While group leaders are welcome to stay in one of our luxurious pods, we also offer separate accommodation in our two-bedroom self-catering apartment on site.
This homely accommodation includes a spacious open plan living room and kitchen area, with utility room.
This accommodation is located in the main communal building, with separate front door access.
Knock Youth Village is located in a secure gated setting, with remote access only.
The village is reserved solely for the private use of your group during your retreat at Knock Shrine.
A touch screen monitoring system in the central hub intuitively detects the vacancy status of the pods, adding an extra layer of security for group leaders.
All TV screens in individual pods can be powered off from a central location.
The Youth Ministry team at Knock Shrine offers vibrant faith programmes for school retreats and summer youth programmes. Our aim is to give young people a positive experience of Knock and a powerful encounter with God. Our retreats aim to give young people the ‘time out’ they need to go on an inward journey to get back in touch with themselves, and to get back in touch with God, in the context of their modern lives. We are mindful in our approach, enthusiastic in spirit, and passionate about our mission.
We are flexible with arrival and departure times and will endeavour to work around your individual requirements for your personalised retreat. Knock Youth Village is reserved exclusively for your group. The accommodation at Knock Youth Village comprises of:
9 twin pods with accommodation for up to two people
1 larger pod, with 1 double bed and 2 bunk beds. This pod, which sleeps up to 5 people, is fully wheelchair accessible.
