Discover Gomde UK

Lindholme Hall Estate is home to Gomde UK, a registered charity and peaceful retreat and meditation centre founded by Tibetan Buddhist master Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche.
On the day, you can visit our Meditation Hall, see beautiful statues, Buddhist art and culture, explore our library, and find out more about what happens here throughout the year — from meditation and retreats to local community initiatives and environmental projects.

Nature & Conservation

Lindholme is home to one of the UK’s last remaining uncut lowland raised mires and plays an important role in peatland restoration across Hatfield Moors. Come and learn more about our conservation work, the rich mosaic of habitats and wildlife found here, and the many ways people help care for this beautiful land.

Step Inside Historic Lindholme Hall

Take a tour of the historic main hall and discover more about the island’s rich and fascinating history — from prehistoric communities and stories of a medieval chapel that once stood here to the WW2 hand-painted dining room frieze that still survives in the Hall today.

Volunteering & Contributing

The Summer Open Day is a wonderful way to get involved, meet the Gomde team, and help welcome visitors to this very special place. Whether you’d like to volunteer on the day or get more involved with Gomde UK throughout the year, we would absolutely love to hear from you.
