Autumn all-age “taste and see” long weekend
Thursday 29th October 5pm - Sunday 1st November. 2pm
Alton Castle Youth Retreat Centre, Staffordshire.

Ever since Eve and Adam cast aside fig leaves for frocks, we've dressed to keep warm, dressed to be decent and dressed to impress. In this long weekend we'll look at how we express ourselves, as individuals and as Christians, through what we wear. There will be plenty of practical activities (sewing skills not required!) as well as discussion of the ethics and symbolism of clothing. We aim for a joyful, prayerful and creative event.

Costs

Standard: Adult £270, School-age Child £200;  Pre-school child £170
Plus or minus 20%
New Member: Adult £135, School-age Child £100;  Pre-school child £85

Explanations of costs

This is a Taste and See event – we’d love new people to come along and get a taste of CPW. So we’re offering them a 50% discount on the prices.

As in previous years we are offering three payment options for existing members: Standard is the actual cost to CPW, But you can pay 20% less if this is a stretch, and 20% more if you can afford to pay extra. If the payment schedule causes any difficulties do please speak to the organiser. We encourage people to take out travel insurance to cover any losses if you have to cancel.

The deposit is £100 per booking, not per person.

We will ask for payment of the balance a month before the event. 

Payment by instalments is available and do please ask for a bursary if this will enable you to come. Use the form below to contact the organiser to discuss payments.
