You asked, we listened

November 2026

 

After each conference, we send out an email asking for your feedback on your stay with us. We read every response and wherever possible, try to implement your suggestions. So here are a few of the latest examples of you asking and us listening.

Transformation of the quad at The Hayes

You said you wanted a quiet space to reflect near the main house at The Hayes. We have transformed the courtyard outside the quad into a tranquil place to relax, pray, or read your Bible accompanied by your morning brew. There’s also a large chess set if you’re up for a game!

Big changes to Aspen Hall’s A/V at Highgate House

The Audio/Visual desk used to be located at the front of Aspen Hall. You said this was inconvenient and also mentioned the desk was too complicated.  We’ve heard you and have now moved the desk to a convenient space at the back. We’ve also replaced the sound desk.

On top of this, there are now hand rails for the steps up onto the stage.

11 car chargers at High Leigh

As more and more of us have electric vehicles, we know the importance of having enough car chargers. With that in mind, we now have 11 EV chargers at High Leigh. After a long journey, you can rest assured knowing there will be a place to charge during your stay.

Upgrades to signage at The Hayes

We’ve recently replaced a number of signs at The Hayes that were getting old and worn. These refreshed way finders will make it easier for you to get where you’re going.

Air con around Highgate House

We listened when you suggested air conditioning units in the bedrooms at Highgate House. AC is now installed in the Stable Courtyard bedrooms. And we’ve just begun work on installing units in the Hawthorn bedroom block which will be completed in the next few months.

A new hall at High Leigh

High Leigh has had a demand for more meeting space for a while now. We can now meet that demand with our brand-new 350-seater meeting hall, Kinton Hall. This hall is equipped with a professional Bose PA system, 2x 85-inch mobile repeater screens, a high-brightness projection screen, and more!

We've heard your feedback and have now replaced the speakers in Main Conference Hall at The Hayes with brand new LD Systems ICOA 12 professional PA speakers. They are known to provide clear, high-quality sound, perfect for your worship sessions.
