Tuesday 13 December, 10am to 4pm
Join us here at Whalley Abbey for our December 'Advent' day retreat. There will be time throughout the day for prayer and reflection and to spend time with God.
Bishop Cyril Ashton will be helping us to contemplate the 'solace of waiting' as we journey through Advent together.
We look forward to welcoming you.
The day retreat also includes tea/coffee and pastries plus a two-course lunch in the refectory.
Tickets are available for £30 and available to book through Eventbrite here.
