Church Weekend Away 2025

19th-21st September 2025
High Leigh Conference Centre

Take time out with St Mary’s church family in the beautiful Hertfordshire countryside.

What to expect

We believe that church is not an event you turn up to, but a family you belong to. We have a vision for our whole church family to come together for a weekend of bible teaching, worship, time out and fun together as one family. It will be a fantastic opportunity to spend a relaxed time together, getting to know people better, and also having the opportunity to explore and grow in your faith through teaching, prayer and worship.

Other weekend highlights include guest speakers, seminars, a full children’s programme and separate youth sessions during adult meeting times, evening entertainment and various options for free time on Saturday afternoon.

Whether you are new to St Mary’s, or have been coming for many years, we would love you to join us for this very special weekend together!
