Weekend Away 202728-30th May
Our annual Weekend Away is 48 hours of memory-making, quality time as a church! And we'd love YOU to join us!
Featuring powerful times of worship, prayer and teaching – not to mention plenty of fun activities and intentional family time – it’s going to be significant!
Check out the info below, then fill out the form to reserve your place.
Location
Whithaugh Park residential centre is situated in the unspoilt landscape of the Scottish Borders countryside and shares its surroundings with forests and rivers. It takes roughly 2.5 hours to drive there. If you’re a driver, there is on site parking. If you need a ride, we’d encourage you to arrange a lift with a friend. We’re also looking into hiring a coach which will be an additional cost to your overall booking. Please let us know on your booking form if you’d be interested in this.
Accommodation
The accommodation is made up of Scandinavian-style lodges in a cluster of holms. Each holm consists of sleeping lodges, a meeting room and a separate kitchen/dining lodge. Bedrooms, shower and toilet facilities are within each of the lodges.
Once we have the booking list finalised we’ll be able to allocate rooms, but families will be together as far as possible.
Pricing
We have tried to keep the price as low as possible. The prices are:
£110 for adults
£50 for children from Reception – Y13
And free for children 4 and under
This includes accommodation, and all meals.
We will be self-catering over the weekend. We’ll all be in different teams that will be responsible for preparing one meal and washing up after a different one over the course of the weekend.
Payment for the weekend is completed via bank transfer and not within the form. Please follow the instructions in your confirmation email on how to pay.
You have the option to pay by:
- Monthly instalments – if you start this in July 2026 you can spread this across 11 months to complete payments by May.
- A one-off transfer to be completed on booking.
- Payment(s) at a later date – please secure your booking with a £10 per person deposit when you book and make further payments as you are able.
The full amount will be due by 1st May 2027.
We are looking into booking a small coach for anyone who needs a ride. We expect this to cost £30 per person. If you’d need a space on the coach, please let us know in your booking form and we’ll be in touch with more info soon.
Activities
Over the weekend, in addition to some free activities such as walks, orienteering and the low ropes course, there will be the option to join in with an organised outdoor activity. This will be dependent on booking numbers and Whithaugh Park’s minimum requirements.
If you’d like to do an activity such as kayaking, abseiling or archery, it’s £27.15. We’ll be in touch at a later date to confirm your interest and the activities that we’ll go ahead with.
If you’d like to do the zip line, it’s £11.80 (please note there is a 100kg weight limit for this activity).
In the event any changes need to be made, we’ll ensure a full refund of this part of your booking.
Swimming
Whithaugh Park also has an indoor pool! If you’d like to add a swim to your booking it’s £4.60 – just let us know on your booking form!
