Aspecial talent for transfiguring the ordinary into something significant or evenremarkable is celebrated in her poem entitled Bin Bag Dancing. Our ownexperience has been that there is nothing, neither objects, situations, people,nor single seconds of time that cannot be captured and made visible andinteresting by focussed observation . Our challenge this weekend is for you touse any mode of writing you choose to give your humble subject a starring role,or at least a brief moment of fame. As always, we look forward with realexcitement to hearing your work."Agenda🕑: 04:00 PM - 06:00 PMArrivals & afternoon tea and cake🕑: 06:00 PM - 06:30 PMWelcome Prayers in the Chapel🕑: 06:30 PM - 08:00 PMFriday Evening Meal🕑: 08:00 PM - 09:00 PMWelcome in the Marsh Lounge🕑: 09:00 PMNight Prayers Followed by Hot Chocolate🕑: 08:00 AM - 08:20 AMSaturday Morning Community Prayers in the Chapel🕑: 08:20 AM - 09:00 AMSaturday Morning Breakfast🕑: 10:00 AM - 11:00 AMWorship & Session 1 with Adrian and Bridget Plass🕑: 11:00 AM - 11:30 AMCoffee with tea and biscuits🕑: 11:30 AM - 01:00 PMSession 2 with Adrian and Bridget Plass🕑: 01:00 PM - 01:45 PMSaturday Lunch🕑: 01:45 PM - 02:00 PMCommunity Prayers in the Chapel🕑: 02:00 PM - 04:00 PMFree Time or option of a walk🕑: 04:00 PM - 04:30 PMAfternoon tea and cake🕑: 04:30 PM - 05:00 PMCommunity Prayers in the Chapel🕑: 05:00 PM - 06:30 PMFree Time or Games🕑: 06:30 PM - 08:00 PMSaturday Evening Meal🕑: 08:00 PM - 09:15 PMSaturday Evening EntertainmentSaturday Night Prayers followed by hot chocolate🕑: 08:20 AM - 09:00 AMSunday Breakfast🕑: 09:15 AM - 10:15 AMSession 3 with Adrian and Bridget Plass🕑: 10:30 AM - 12:00 PMCommunity Service in the Chapel followed by refreshments🕑: 12:00 PM - 01:00 PMOpportunity for Prayer🕑: 01:00 PM - 02:00 PMSunday Lunch and Departures - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/skipton/scargill-acw-retreat/100001532987570089 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, contests - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Skipton - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Scargill Movement - **lat**: 54.135587 - **long**: -2.0360705 - **full address**: Scargill Movement, Scargill House, Skipton, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Scargill ACW Retreat - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/c5af4e3ecb0bd3499ac6ce15a33f942725a19e63aa57159343743cf18011ba96-rimg-w1024-h768-dc79a8e9-gmir.jpg?v=1760644047 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Scargill ACW Retreat being held? - **A:** Scargill ACW Retreat takes place on Fri, 24 Apr, 2026 at 04:00 pm to Sun, 26 Apr, 2026 at 02:00 pm at Scargill Movement, Scargill House, Skipton, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Scargill ACW Retreat? - **A:** Scargill ACW Retreat is organized by Association of Christian Writers. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
