Retreat-Holidays
Retreat-Holidays
Retreat-Holidays is an exciting venture offering revitalising breaks for tired Christians - and, indeed, for others who are searching. We are affiliated to the Retreat Association.
Retreat-holidays combine Christian retreats with real holidays. They are set in beautiful, peaceful surroundings which help you to unwind, still down and become aware of God's presence within and around you. They are suitable both for people who go on retreats regularly and for those who have never been on one before but are looking for a Christian holiday.
Retreat-Holidays make retreats a treat
and holidays holy!
As one of our clients put it:
"Retreat-Holidays... The integration of those two words was woven into an experience of deep delight and wonder."
There is normally a short input session in the morning, giving you thoughts for the day and a Bible passage or two to mull over. The themes and texts relate in some way to our surroundings.
There is usually an excursion on three or four days of the week (sometimes more). Then, in the evening before dinner, we have some time to reflect on the day and to pray together.
The What we offer page says more about what retreat-holidays are.
The Departures 2010 page gives an overview of the retreat-holidays on offer and show which ones still have places available.

Information leaflets
For our 2010 departures, we are moving to a greener and more economical way of doing things. Full details of our departures are available on the website. If you let us have your address, we'll send you a summary leaflet or you can request one by phone - call 01304 214789. Information sheets on each of our destinations are also available. You can either print them from the website - click on the picture for the link - or ask the office to post you the ones which are of interest to you.
Accessibility
There is a note on the accessibility of each of our retreat-holidays at the bottom of the Dates, price and flights page for that location. We regret that we are unable to accept the responsibility of looking after people who know before they travel that they have serious problems of health or mobility.
If you give us your email address, we'll notify you when new retreat-holidays are added to the programme. If you give us your postal address, we'll also send you the annual programme. And if you have any queries, give us a ring or email us. We're small enough to care!
Our retreat-holidays are primarily for people travelling from the UK and Ireland, but we are very happy to welcome English-speaking clients from other countries and to discuss with them the most convenient way for them to come and join us.
