Quiet Space & Faith Space
We will also have a Quiet Space and a Faith Space available at all times.
Whilst we have quiet spaces and quiet camping areas we cannot promise that these will be completely quiet all of the time. We highly recommend bringing headphones/earplugs for wearing around Glenmore Lodge or for sleeping if you feel this would help you.
