This year we will be including a new holiday venue and a two–day retreat. As our holidays were so popular in 2022 with waiting lists for people wanting to attend, we are accepting expressions of interest for our 2023 holidays and events programme from Monday 14 November. We will then come back to you early in the New Year to let you know which holiday or event you have been successful with and you can then pay a deposit to secure your place.
To express an interest in a holiday please call our client services team on 01858 438260 or email info@torchtrust.org
