About Us

The Singleton Sisters of Mercy Convent is the Motherhouse of the Sisters of Mercy in the Hunter Valley. Since 1995, the Convent has become known as a beautiful and unique 'living heritage site', open for guided tours, concerts, weddings, workshops, room hire and other activities, under the name of 'Sacred Spaces'. The Convent is set in spacious gardens, creating a unique atmosphere of peace. Gracious buildings date from the mid nineteenth century, and display remarkable architectural beauty. Guided tours tell the story of the Sisters and the Convent, while the magnificent Sisters' Chapel is particularly suited to weddings and concerts. The gardens are also available for photos, and rooms and spaces within the building are available for hire for groups, including artists space, meetings and seminars. The spaces are also ideal for groups wanting quiet times for spiritual activities. Do not underestimate this site. It will surprise and delight you. Please contact the office for details and costs of tours, concerts, room hire and weddings. Prior bookings are necessary for tours.
