How to Apply
If you would be interested in finding out more, or would like to sign your church up to one of the weekends, please contact Carolyn South at Carolyn.South@keswickministries.org.
A 10% deposit is payable on registration when you will be asked to provide an estimated minimum and maximum number of attendees expected from your church. Ten weeks before the event we will ask for final numbers, and a 65% payment. This will give you a period of time to confirm attendee numbers from your church. The last 25% will be invoiced after the event.
We look forward to hearing from you and welcoming you to Keswick!
