Monkton Wyld Court

Bridport, Dorset,

United Kingdom

Monkton Wyld Court is an educational charity managed by a small team of resident community and volunteers. The 11-acre grounds include a 14-bedroom Victorian rectory, a converted stable block and other outbuildings, a large organic vegetable garden, terraced lawns, fields, woods and stream. Facilities available by arrangement include a library, art hut, pottery, workshop, healing room and baby grand piano.

We generate income through a programme of educational courses and other events, and also run a Steiner-focused kindergarten. We are committed to making continual improvements to our levels of ecological sustainability, and our usefulness to the local and wider community as an educational resource. We welcome volunteers to work with us for one week initially, and to return for longer visits if agreed.
