I met my wife at Sizewell on an Easter Houseparty from West Road Church. Now into my tenth year of marriage I praise God for the haven of Sizewell Hall, a place where I have never failed to encounter God. I have cherished memories of over 50’s weeks, Easter and February House parties where the Lord has strengthened me and encouraged me in a huge variety of ways. I would go to Sizewell and come back changed as a result of the ministry and power of God that was always present.

Well Sizewell is just a great place. I’ve got so many memories it is unbelievable (all of them good!). Most importantly it’s where I became a Christian so I’ll always be thankful for it. Just one last thing to remember when on the campsite SAFETY 1ST SAFETY 2ND!

WOW, where do I start. I can only praise God for the work at Sizewell. For Sizewell hall is swamped in God’s awsome presence. I will ALWAYS hold Sizewell hall near to my heart. Although I will never be thrown into that smelly pond again!!

I came back from Sizewell Hall today with my church from Bildeston, Suffolk. I had a brilliant week and can’t wait to go back next year. We go every year in October half term and I always learn something new. God is always with us, guiding us through a fantastic week.

I’m glad to see dear old Sizewell Hall is being put to such good use. I was a pupil at Sizewell Hall School in 1952 until it closed in 1955. It was small a coeducational preparatory school for eight to 13-year-olds, joined for the summer by foreign students. There were only three or four teachers, including the headmaster, Harry Tuyn, a Dutchman who taught us English, French, German, Latin and Greek by turns! It left me, for instance, with a lifelong passion for literature, nature study and music. We were allowed to make full use of the 35 acres as our playground, except for the area beyond the pond, which was out of bounds in the summer after a boy was bitten by an adder. What was different from other schools I attended is that we seemed to be one community of children, tolerant of our differences in age, sex and background. One fellow pupil was Sheridan Morley, the theatre critic, whom I see in the paper died not long ago. I would love to get in touch with others who were there at that time. Robert? Wayne? Gijs? Clara? Arnold? Geraldine? Dorothy? Harleh? Karen? Gretel? Mr Hobson? Miss Acheson? I wonder where you are now. Look after yourselves.

Just found your website and have to say that it was on a Easter Sunday back in 1976 when I gave my life to the Lord while at the Easter Houseparty, Dave Rusted led me to the Lord and Sizewell Hall will always have eternal memories for me!

I and my husband have many great memories of Sizewell Hall. We met there in 1990 at a CYM house party and were married in 1993. It was where I came to know Christ and always felt at my closest to him. It holds places of great peacefulness and I believe it is truely blessed by God. We would love our three children at some point in their lives, to be touched by the presence of God that so obviously lives at Sizewell Hall.

I am trying to make contact with Harry Tuyn, the head of the Sizewell Hall school in the 1950s. My name is Boni Sones and my mobile is 07703 716961. Harry or his family or friends would be interesting to speak to.
I have reason to believe he may be a relative.

I went to Sizewell a couple of years ago with the church - TBC - It was great. It was really a youth thing and I must have been 2 or 3 years younger than that. My mum was a cook so I tagged along anyway. I didn’t take part in the activities but I loved walking down to the beach, playing on the piano and exploring (aswell as helping out in the kitchen!)
GO TO SIZEWELL GOD WILL BLESS YOU THERE

Hi,
I’ve just come back from Sizewell yesterday with the same church as Lily TBC. It was great exept the fire alarm went off at 12.15 at night. I really loved the beach laying on the pebbles it was the best feeling ever. The building was much bigger than I was expecting as I was to young to go last time.
THANK YOU
