A weekend to enjoy
Our weekend away at Harmans Cross is a great opportunity to spend time together and be encouraged as a church family. There’s the option to camp overnight on site, or just to come for the day. You can choose which of the main meetings you want to come to (see below), giving you flexibility for how you plan your day. There will be a rounders match, picnic lunch, and evening hog-roast onsite, as well as the chance to take a train ride to Corfe Castle or Swanage, or explore the Purbecks on foot.
