Scargill offers a wide range of holidays, conferences and retreats. Some are 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 attend something from our 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!
