Accessible and engaging retreat experiences.
School and parish retreat experiences at our residential retreat centre The Briars. Linked to Catholic social teaching, packed with new opportunities and always lot’s of fun in brand new modern purpose built accommodation – your trip will be one you’ll never forget!
We provide a unique opportunity for young people to take a step back, reflect and understand the world around them. Grounded in a vibrant Catholic community we work with young people or all faiths and none to explore the things that really matter in life and to find a space which is truly their own.
Parishes
Alongside our educational retreats we can also offer retreat experiences that support parish groups in sacramental preparation or just provide a space for a group to get away and get closer to their faith.
We can provide opportunities for Mass, Reconciliation, Adoration and other liturgical experiences all rooted within an inclusive and lively Catholic Community.
We have something for everyone and a stay at The Briars can give your parish group a chance to come away and really focus on what’s important.
Schools
We offer the very best in educational residential experiences for schools. With our programmes grounded in Catholic Social Teaching you can be sure that young people will be able to enrich their learning and help them develop.
The unique, accessible programmes means young people from all faiths and none can learn what it means to be part of vibrant Catholic Community and begin to understand how Catholic Values can influence and inspire them in their lives.
We tailor each visit to support and enhance the learning taking place in school
