We are a registered charity and based in a Victorian mansion built in the 1850s. Located in rural Derbyshire we are close to the Dales and Peak District. We have around 35 residents spread across the main building, apartments and houses. We are mixed community of ordained and lay people and families. We host around 5 - 15 volunteers. Our extensive grounds have 38 acres of gardens and parkland, with a small river and woodland walk. The environment is very beautiful, tranquil and restful and is perfect for meditation and reflection.
There are many local walks, a nature reserve and cycle paths. You can also access the Dales and Peak District National Park for days out. The city of Derby is just 8 miles away. Birmingham, Nottingham and Leicester are all within one hour travel.

Es una gran experiencia, en Tara se aprender muchísimo sobre el Budismo y sus costumbres. Las tareas son sencillas y el horario de trabajo es cómodo. Es un espacio grande, muy bonito y con mucho para explorar!! Cerca del centro de Derby y otros lugares para visitar. Es una experiencia que recomiendo.

The working hours are respected, the work is not difficult, in fact it is a pleasure to be able to help and be involved with something so good! The place is beautiful, the accommodation is very cozy and the food is delicious! I was able to participate in classes and practices and I will certainly continue studying!

Tara Kadampa was one of the most important volunteer work for me, I met people that I will remember and thank for the rest of my life. The tasks are easy, the room is cozy, the food is delicious and the Center is a real home! It was an immense pleasure to be there, and the meditation classes gave me more direction about Buddhism than which one I intend to follow. thank you all!
