While our renovations take place our buildings are available for use as a film and television location. Formerly known as “Woods Hospital” the building dates back to 1889, it is based in a 1.63 acre site and boasts stunning period features including stained glass windows and an elegant staircase.
The location has been used regularly in the past by film crews from the BBC, Granada, ITV and numerous independent film companies and advertising agencies.
All funds raised from any location filming will help us continue our vital work supporting families and renovating our Retreat.
