WEEKEND AWAY 202525TH-27TH APRIL
The Church Weekend Away is going to be a wonderful opportunity for our church family to spend quality time together and making memories!
The weekend will include powerful times of worship, prayer and teaching alongside fun actives and plenty of family time.
Check out the info below, then fill out the form to reserve your place.
Location
Bassenfell Manor is in the beautiful Lake District, very close to Keswick. It takes roughly 2.5 hours to drive there. If you’re able to drive, we encourage you to do that. If you’re able to offer a lift, please let us know on your booking form. If you need a lift, again, let us know on your booking form and we’ll see what we can arrange! Please note if you need a lift, there will be the extra cost of petrol money for your driver, or a contribution towards a hire vehicle.
Accommodation
We have 65 residential spaces available for this weekend.
Accommodation is in the rooms of the Manor House itself (a mixture of room sizes, a mixture of single beds and bunk beds, with bedding included – but not towels!).
Once we have the booking list finalised we’ll be able to allocate rooms, but families will be together as far as possible. All rooms are ensuite.
Pricing
We have tried to keep the price as low as possible. The prices are:
£90 for adults
£50 for children aged 5-16
£15 for 4 and unders
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.
If money is an issue for you, we’d rather have you for a reduced price than not have you! Please let us know by checking the box that you would require some help and we will be in touch.
If you are able to help subsidise someone, please donate (using gift aid if possible) to help cover the costs.
Payment for the weekend is done via bank transfer and not within the form. Please follow the instructions in your confirmation email on how to pay. All payments must be made by 1st April 2025.
