Ovoca Manor Update

2024 has been a blessed year in so many ways. We really do need to Thank God for his continued favour on Ovoca Manor and the work of Scripture Union. The Manor was booked solidly each weekend of 2024, a lot of these bookings are historical and come every year for their "Ovoca Weekend" over the same month but sometimes groups decide to change from staying with us and thankfully we are such a popular venue we have a waiting list and no issue keeping busy.

It was lovely to see 4 new churches/organisations come to Ovoca Manor in 2024 and for them to love their experience of the venue, the surroundings and their time with God.......they have all booked again for 2025!!!

I couldn't write a review without heart-fully thanking our "Manor Team" and we really would be lost without them. They work so hard to make everything perfect for groups arriving and while they are here, they really care how people enjoy their experience. They are all such valuable parts of the greater Scripture Union Team but a special mention has to go out to Catherine (our chef) who celebrated 15 years at the Manor this year and to Linda (our cleaning supervisor) who goes above and beyond every time she is in the building, she sees everything, and to Mark (our head of maintenance) for his tireless work at keeping the grounds clean and tidy and safe for all. We would be lost without them, their wisdom and their commitment and all our team do such a good job on keeping the Manor intact, I feel "Thank You" is never enough.

We are looking forward to this year, to host all the groups who will book in for their Manor Experience again and we are excited and motivated to continue in our upgrades and our maintenance of such a special place to both staff and visitors.

Blessings to all for 2025.
