Tea Shop

Quarr Abbey Steps - Cream

Quarr Abbey Tea Shop & Farm Shop, open throughout the year, is an extension to our many visitors of the monastic community’s ministry of welcome. Come and enjoy one of our light lunches, all freshly prepared and making the most of our organic produce grown on-site.

Our Tea Shop provides an oasis of peace where people can relax and have time for themselves and for God. If you’re not looking for something to eat, you can still settle back and enjoy peace and tranquillity within our gardens and grounds, accompanied by a cup of fresh Fairtrade tea or coffee.

Watch the wildlife from the comfort of your chair as red squirrels can be seen hopping about the lawn, buzzards ride the thermals overhead and there’s even a friendly robin that will perch waiting for a cake crumb or two.

Our small, friendly team and volunteers are well-known for providing a warm welcome and friendly service.

Easter Message 2026

Easter at Quarr is a good season to learn again that
Flowers open after winter months of apparent death,
Birds sing joyfully as they build new nests for their little ones to come,
Lambs gamble and bleat in the meadows.
Even roads reopen (!) giving access to visitors old and new – all welcome!

Will our hearts open, too,
To make peace after conflicts and wars
To forgive after disputes
To foster every human life from its conception to its natural end,
To bring a smile of hope on all faces around?

“Christ is risen from the dead.”
Happy Easter to you all!

Abbot Xavier and the Community
