All-age week
Thornbridge Outdoors, Sunday 4th to Sunday 11th August 2024
What are we doing at Mass?
Depending on our background and current relationship with God and/or the Church, each of us may put the emphasis on a different word in that question. According to the Catechism, ‘the Eucharist is the Source and Summit of Christian Life’, but what does that actually mean for us? By contemplating, experimenting and creating, by discussing, praying and celebrating, by being challenged and by having fun, as well as uncovering the history and scriptural foundations, we shall try to understand what is really going on at Mass, what our part is in that and what it means for how we interact with the world and the people around us.
About the venue:
Thornbridge Outdoors, Bakewell, Derbyshire.
The centre is on the edge of the Peak District in a beautiful part of the country.
Lots of comfortable shared spaces. The bedrooms are basic – think bunk beds (lots of them) and not much else. For a more outdoorsy experience, there are tepees available, ready set up on site. Please let us know if you would like this option which comes with a modest discount.
There are no single rooms, so if you are coming on your own you may be asked to share (in single sex dorms). There is more flexibility with the tepees, so it may be possible to have a tepee to yourself.
If you are good friends with (or related to) another family, and would be prepared to share, please let us know.
This will be a self-catering week with a spirit of living simply. The site is fully accessible.
