Stop the week!
'Stop the Week!' is a relaxing and enjoyable alternative to your usual Friday night. Starting at 7pm with a short, guided meditation to relax and unwind from the stress of the week, and then go through to the World Peace Café for a two course meal in the company of friends. These evenings are suitable for complete beginners to meditation - many people bring the whole family, and the meal is always great fun - a chance to meet old friends and make new ones.
Each month we will be serving cuisine from a different country and adding extra events to spice up the evening.

Summer Fayre
Every June Ashe Hall plays host to a vibrant & popular Summer Fayre. The fair regularly attracts up to 2000 people with its combination of attractions, such as stalls selling lots of different food (including our own World Peace Cafe), clothes, local produce and fair trade goods. There is entertainment for the kids with a bouncy castle, face painting and the ever popular Theeeko the clown. And if you fancy a bit of relaxation, during the day we will be providing free guided meditations. All this within 38 acres of beautiful grounds.
2009's Summer Fayre took place on June 21st and was a great success! To find out more and view some pictures click here. Thank you to everyone who supported it.
