Visit
Scargill offers a wide range of holidays, conferences and retreats, some led by members of the Scargill Community, and others by external speakers. On most dates, you can also come as a private guest rather than for the programme.
Everyone is welcome at Scargill House. Visit on your own; come with your family or friends; bring a church or group, whatever works for you!
