Visiting the Bach Centre as a group

Everyone is welcome to visit the Bach Centre, and whether you are visiting on your own or in the company of friends, family or colleagues, we have several options available from an informal casual visit to a full two-day course.

Please see our ‘Visitors Guide’ for opening times. 

Casual visits

A casual visit offers the opportunity for individuals or small groups of up to six to see where Dr. Bach lived and worked and explore the house and garden. We have a shop where you can buy remedies, books and various other related items and souvenirs of your visit, and you may also want to treat yourselves to a cup of tea or coffee, and a tasty snack or light lunch in our café, Nora’s Kitchen.

During your visit you will have the chance to see many examples of Dr. Bach’s hand-made furniture throughout the house, sit in one of his chairs in his consulting room, and learn about the history of his work and the Centre by visiting our museum rooms which are filled with historical artefacts from Dr. Bach’s time here, along with those who have come after.   There is a short film which explains how Dr. Bach came to make Mount Vernon his home and how his work has continued here since.  There are also many examples of Dr. Bach’s writings, letters and other documents on display, so as a self-guided tour, you have the time to read at your leisure and look around at your own pace, making the most of your visit.

While you are in Brightwell-cum-Sotwell, you may like to take a walk around the village and to the church, a short walk from the Bach Centre, where Dr Bach is buried.

We make a small charge of £10 per person which goes towards the upkeep of the house.

Please pre-book your visit via our bookings calendar which can be found here.

Private two-day Level 1 course for your group

For those who would like to arrange a date for a Private Level 1 Course, please contact us with your preferred dates and for our availability.  You can read what a Level 1 course involves here but in a ‘nutshell’ it is a two day course* and covers all the basics of Dr. Bach’s work: we guide you through each of the 38 remedies, the history of Dr. Bach’s discoveries, an introduction to the philosophy behind his work, the process of making remedies and how to prepare your own mix.

Price for a group of up to eight is £1873, plus £220 for each additional participant, up to a maximum group total of twelve.

Therefore, the total cost for the whole group can reduce the price per person if you are able to organise a group of more than eight.

*Please note these courses are held on weekdays only.

*The fee includes VAT and is subject to change. It does not include accommodation and meals. If you cancel an agreed booking less than four weeks before the start date the fee is non-refundable. If you cancel earlier we will refund you in full.

Bespoke one-day workshops

We can also arrange to have a specialist teacher come to the Centre to run a one-day event just for your group.

If your group already know the remedies quite well they might prefer to focus on Dr Bach’s philosophy, or on practice issues such as selecting for animals, or working with challenging clients.

The exact options available will depend on which teachers are available on the days you want to come. We can also try to find teachers who can run events in other languages.

We will issue a Bach Centre certificate to you if the event has been approved by us under the BC-ACE scheme; other events may be certificated by the trainer.

The cost of a one-day event comprises two elements:

1. Bach Centre will charge your group £210* to book the Mount Vernon training rooms and support services.
2. The teacher will charge you a teaching fee.**

The total cost is dependent in part on the teacher’s costs, travel times etc.  The minimum group size is six, and the maximum number is twelve.  Costs will be per group so the cost per person will depend on the group size.

For more information email us a list of day(s) when your group would like to come to the Centre and an idea of what topics might be of interest we’ll take it from there.

*The Bach Centre fee includes VAT and is subject to change. It does not include accommodation and meals. If you cancel an agreed booking less than four weeks before the start date the fee is non-refundable. If you cancel earlier we will refund you in full.

**You will pay the teacher’s fee directly to the teacher. The teacher’s own standard terms including his or her own cancellation policy will apply.
