Location
Welcome to our new home - Wycliffe College, Stonehouse
Set within 52 acres of beautiful grounds on the edge of the Gloucestershire Cotswolds, Wycliffe College offers an inspiring and spacious setting for the Brass Band Summer School. Its blend of modern facilities and historic character makes it the perfect environment for music-making, creativity, and community.
Easy to Reach…
The College is exceptionally well connected, so getting to Wycliffe couldn’t be simpler. Stonehouse railway station is just a 2-minute stroll (150 metres) from campus, with direct trains reaching London Paddington in around 90 minutes. International visitors can also enjoy smooth travel, as Paddington is linked to Heathrow Airport by a 15-minute express service.
By road, Wycliffe is just 2 miles from M5 Junction 13, 9 miles from Gloucester, and 4 miles from Stroud. Bristol and Birmingham Airports are also within easy reach.
A campus designed for exceptional experiences…
Wycliffe is home to both a Senior and Preparatory School, offering a superb range of facilities. Highlights include a state-of-the-art £6 million boarding house opened in 2018 by the Duchess of Gloucester, superb sports facilities and a welcoming campus filled with green spaces and modern amenities.
At the heart of the Senior School is Sibly Hall, the principal venue for gatherings and performances. The dedicated Music Department is centrally located on campus, and the college Chapel adds a touch of heritage and atmosphere. Its Grade II listed tower dates to 1911, and the chapel remains a much-loved venue for concerts and school events.
Accommodation and meals…
A huge upgrade for the Brass Band Summer School… Wycliffe has eight boarding houses and all rooms, whether single or twin, have their own ensuite private bathroom.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are provided, prepared and served at Wycliffe’s on campus cafeteria in collaboration with Holroyd Howe - one of the UK’s leading contract-catering companies.
Discover the Town of Stonehouse…
Stonehouse has a charm all its own. First recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as “Stanhus”, the town has centuries of history woven into its story—from ancient manor houses to vineyards and mills. Today it offers a friendly community, lovely walking routes, and easy access to the wider Cotswolds. Just down the road from the School’s main entrance is the Stonehouse Court Hotel.
