November Work Week 2027

At this time of year, staff team and volunteers help to restore the Abbey after a busy season. This is a week for energetic people who don’t mind getting their hands dirty. Work Weeks are designed for guests aged 18 and over.

Guests on work week participate in the rhythm and routine of work and worship in community.  Work for a typical day might include gardening, basic DIY, cleaning and moving objects and materials for worship between the Abbey church and the Michael Chapel.

Previous work week participants describe the wonderful energy of working together in a ‘common task’, using their varied gifts. This is a fun-filled week with a ceilidh, free time to explore Iona and lots of laughs.

Accommodation will be offered as single occupancy rooms at Iona Abbey.

We also have a work week in March as we prepare the Abbey for the season.
