Residential Group Events at Boarbank Hall
All of our events take advantage of the rhythm of our community prayer, the comfortable facilities of our Guest House and the beauty of the local area. We offer a unique mix of prayer, study and opportunities for social and quiet time.
We welcome bookings from school or student groups or any religious or other groups who may benefit from our hospitality. We also work with schools to provide INSET days, with the option of overnight stays.
If you would like help in arranging a programme for a retreat or residential event please get in touch.
