About our events
Our online workshops, series, courses and retreats will be delivered using Zoom. We are happy to offer some help and guidance to anyone interested in signing up for our online content – so don’t be put off! We suggest an offering for each event, course and retreat but do not wish anyone to feel excluded because of cost – please do enquire and we will seek to offer some support.
Most of our events can be booked online. Use the links below to view details and book each event. Our calendar lists all forthcoming events. Please also review our Refund Policy.
If you have mobility issues and are booking an event which will take place in-centre at St Bede’s please ring 01904 464900 and talk to a member of staff before booking. We have an accessible access route into the building and our kitchen, coffee lounge, chapel and toilets (including an accessible toilet) are on the ground floor but our basement and second floors are not accessible and although we have a chairlift to the first floor the lift is in two sections and some mobility is required. We also restrict the number of people with mobility issues using the first floor at any one time as we need to be sure that we can evacuate the building promptly if the fire alarm sounds.
