5.0 based on 193 reviews
In the Hertfordshire countryside just north of London, Bhaktivedanta Manor, complete with its farmlands, beautiful gardens and temple is a real sanctuary for the soul. Open all year round to visitors and students of ancient wisdom, the temple offers a great experience with tours of the shrine, gardens and compassionate farm. See the rooms of the famous Hare Krishna guru Srila Prabhupada, to whom George Harrison gifted this iconic mock Tudor mansion. Visitors may participate in inspirational talks, yoga classes, mantra meditation, vegetarian cooking classes and various retreats.

I try to visit Bhaktivedanta Manor as often as I can through out the year and especially during the Janmastahmi Festival (Krishna's Birthday) which usually falls sometime in August. This is a very tranquil place to visit, with lovely gardens, the pond, the woodland walk, the cow pen where you can purchase greens to feed the cows, and of course the magnificent temple. Such tranquil surroundings and a lovely place to just relax or start your spiritual journey. There are prayer times throughout the day so check their website for details of these if you would like to attend. There is a lovely cafe on site for refreshments, and prashad is always served too. I would highly recommend a visit if you are in the area, you will have a wonderful uplifting experience.

The Lincolnsfields Centre is home to the 1940's Experience. We are open to the public the last Sunday of the months January - November and the first Sunday in December. During World War 2 the site was USAAF 8th Fighter Command Headquarters with a room dedicated to the history of the site. The open days will give you an experience of nostalgia, taking you back in time. Walking through the 1940's house you will be able to have a visual and hand on experience. If that's not enough for you, visit the Dig for Victory garden and see how fires were put out during the Blitz. Take a ride in the jeep and experience what it was like to be in London during an air raid and take cover in a shelter. If you need to rest pop in to the NAAFI and have a cup of tea and cake, the girls will always have a smile when serving. On some of the Sundays our residential band "The Mustangs" perform live music. Throughout your visit our excellent team of volunteers will be on hand to answer any questions.

Been a few times to Sunday open days at the Lincolnsfield Centre. Always plenty to see in the 1940's house. Lots of activities like the Blitz experience, Jeep rides and volunteers to share their knowledge (many are in authentic soldier uniforms with weapons!). There's a naafi canteen. Great bonus on the last Sunday in every month, there's a live band playing 1950's/60's rock'n'roll. It's included in entry price so you can just stroll in & listen to the music or even dance! Singers & song choices really good. Lots of fun on a sunday afternoon.
