BARKBY DAY RETREAT

Lent

The day was filled with quiet joy as folk came together to enjoy an atmosphere of prayer and meditation. Beginning with a Celtic Eucharist, a series of gospel stories followed throughout the day relating to Jesus' passion was heard accompanied by music and sensory experiences such as touch and aromas. A tasty hot lunch followed a stroll through the awakening gardens of Barkby Hall. Grateful thanks go to Sarah and Pat – kitchen angels, Phil the cook, ROOTS for suppling the vegetables and the Pochin Estate for allowing access to the gardens.
