Retreat Information
Everything you need to know when planning your group's retreat at Walsingham House.
Retreat Prices and Timings for 2008/9 - valid from Sept '08
At Walsingham House we do our very best to be flexible about timings, recognising different travel distances, school day lengths, etc.
Please treat these timings as a guide and please feel free to discuss alternatives with us if there are better options for your school or parish.
We do not want any young person to be excluded from a retreat on the grounds of cost: if these prices cannot be met by the young person, and there is no additional support available from the school or parish, please let us know and we will do our best to help.
The House is now best equipped for residential retreats of one or two nights.
N.B. A Parental Consent form must be completed for each young person in your group.
Residential Retreats
All prices are per person. These prices include all meals, and two free places for leaders, as groups must be accompanied by a minimum of one male and one female leader.

* The weekend retreat does not include a Friday evening meal: to avoid Friday traffic it is better to arrive a little later at Walsingham House. However, an evening meal can be provided for an extra £4 per person.
Day Retreats
Timings to best suit the school: if we are running a day retreat in house for your school, experience suggests that it is best to lengthen the usual school day, allowing for your travel time.
We can facilitate days from 10.00am – 2.30pm, to fit the inside of the school day, but are happy to run sessions until 5.00pm to enable the young people to get the best from the day.
When running a retreat away from Walsingham House we fit the school day, typically 9.00am – 3.30pm. Prices are per person (accompanying teachers are naturally free of charge).
