The open retreats at Castlerigg give teens and young adults a great way to make friends, deepen their faith, and have some fun, and they usually prove very popular. The Advent weekend, 13-15th Dec, costs £65 but anyone who might struggle with this is invited to get in touch. Further details – director@castleriggmanor.co.uk.
