Spring Work Week (fully booked)

 Spring Work Week:  8th -14th March 2025 

At this time of year, staff team and volunteers help to reawaken the Abbey after the winter. This is a week for energetic people who don’t mind getting their hands dirty. 

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.  

‘ I loved the thought that we were participating in preparing the way for others to grow throughout the upcoming season.‘ Work Week participant ’24

We also have a work week in November (1st – 7th) as we prepare the Abbey for the quieter months of winter.

6 Nights: This week is offered at an early-season discounted rate of £426 or concession rate of £213.
