SU Retreat is an opportunity for you to meet with like-minded people, get inspired and encouraged as well as have some time for you. Then afterwards, you can return to your church / workplace refreshed and ready to pour into your local context!



We have intentionally kept the price of the ticket as low as possible to keep this event as accessible as possible to as many of you as possible.



And with so many accommodation options available in Manchester (hotels, apartments, bed and breakfasts, Air BnB's) you are able to arrange your own accommodation close by, or perhaps a little further out, at the budget that is right for you.

To help you out, we have secured some discounted rates with local hotels that you can take advantage of. You can find details on our Fuel and Sleep page here. You'll also find tips and information about travel and parking above. 

We hope that your church / employer, as well as those that support you, would recognise the importance of such a time and be able to financially commit to making this a reality for you. However, we know that that may not be possible for everyone. If you need any further assistance in respect of your ticket or accommodation, please get in touch with us by email [email protected]
