3-day Retreats at the Priory
From time to time (see calendar) there is a 3-day residential retreat at the Priory from 7.30pm Thursday evening until after lunch on Sunday. People are also welcome to drop in and out for a day or any part of a day. Please contact the Priory at least 3 days in advance if you wish to stay for one or more nights. It is also helpful to know a few days in advance who is dropping in for parts of days, especially if you will be here for a meal. To attend this, or any other of our retreats, you should at least have attended an introductory session at the Priory.
