THE VILLAGE

At St Thomas's Priory

Exclusive Day Centre

A new exclusive day centre set within the historic grounds of St Thomas's Priory — offering company, comfort and beautifully prepared days.

Heritage Grounds. Considered Days.

The Village, Where People Come Together

An exclusive day, in extraordinary surroundings.

Set within the listed grounds of St Thomas's Priory in Rugeley, The Village is a place where people come together — adults of all ages who value calm, character and good company.

From estate walks and afternoon teas to lawn bowls and live entertainment, every day is unhurried and considered — with freshly prepared dining at its centre.

No two days are quite the same. Each one is gently varied so guests can be as active or as restful as they wish — there really is something here for everyone, with optional door-to-door transport and respite stays to suit every routine.

The Chapel, Under Restoration

A space to gather, soon to be restored.

Thomas Priory is seeking National Lottery funding, alongside other sources of support, to restore and maintain this beautiful church — a building steeped in history that still houses a fully playable organ.

With this support, both our current residents and those who join the village in years to come will be able to enjoy this very special part of the Priory for generations.

Respite & Flexibility

Care that fits around your life.

Attend a single day, several days a week, or join us for a week-long respite stay. Every stay is a uniquely tailored experience, shaped around each guest's needs so that families at home can rest properly too.

Flexible Day Attendance

Choose the days that work for you — from one day a week to full weeks.

Weekly Respite Stays

Respite at the Priory is offered by the week — a full week with us, giving families proper time to rest.
