What's On at Nether Springs

IMG_2128For our programme in 2024, we are offering an expanded series of led themed retreats, alongside our regular Individually Guided Retreats. We have re-introduced regular opportunities where you can come to simply have space to be and join in with the rhythm of Nether Springs. We continue with a series of ‘group booking’ spaces (which will include opportunities for charitable organisations/ different people groups to come and experience our hospitality within our daily rhythms). We also offer two weekends to give our grounds and buildings some much needed tender loving care. 

If your Northumbria Community Group or organisation might be interested in being welcomed for a retreat or a quiet day,  please do get in touch with the Nether Springs Office team on 01670 787645 (Monday to Friday 9.30am – 1pm) or by emailing – office@northumbriacommunity.org. The dates for quiet days will shortly be added to our programme.
