Manjushri KMC has been hosting Group visits for many years. Many different types of people come to visit the World Peace Temple and learn about the spiritual life of the Buddhists who live here; view the historic house in its beautiful parkland setting; and enjoy the gardens and estuary shoreline of Morecambe Bay.

What to expect on a guided tour
You will spend 1½ hours with our Tour Guide. The tour starts with watching a DVD about the history of Conishead followed by viewing the historic features of the mansion. You will hear some of the stories of the people who have lived here since 1160. Then we will walk through the gardens to the Temple and explain its spiritual meaning and how it is used everyday for prayers and meditation. We can open the gift shop at a time to suit you and we can serve refreshments before or after the tour. The visit can start from 10am onwards.
