Peace and reflection

It’s easy to feel lost in the bustle of an airport. The Meditation Centre is a non-denominational and interfaith space, where you can pray, meditate, or just relax in silence. There are also regular services and an on-site library for your enjoyment.

Attend a church service

Don’t worry about missing your local church service if you’re flying on a Sunday. The Meditation Centre conducts a church service at 11.00am.

Services for different denominations are held on a rotational basis. This includes Anglican, Roman-Catholic and Protestant services, which are all held in English. It’s fine to leave early if you need to catch your flight, too.

Arrange your own group service If you’d like to hold your own group service, you are more than welcome to do so. Please either contact the airport chaplain in advance, or talk to the volunteer on duty in the centre.

Read in our library Holy books from different faiths are available in many languages in our library.
