Every year, Birtley Community Church spends a weekend away, enjoying fellowship together. These weekends usually start on Friday evening and finish at lunchtime on Sunday. Two nights of accommodation and all meals are included in the £100 price. Children will be charged much less than this (please contact us for details) and are catered for by activities that run through the weekend. We arrange a special programme including teaching by a visiting speaker and in 2025, 567 people attended this event, making it a highlight of our church calendar.
We always organise a special programme for children, and in 2025 we had about 15 children with us.
In 2026, the event will be held at Minsteracres as shown in the photograph where there are are beautiful and extensive grounds to explore.
