Over six days\, you’ll help prepare the Abbey for the season ahead\, working alongside staff\, volunteers and other guests to create a welcoming environment for those who will visit throughout the year. \nThis Iona work week combines meaningful work with worship\, shared meals and time to enjoy the island. Whether you’re interested in volunteering on Iona\, looking for a volunteering holiday Scotland experience\, or simply want to contribute to something bigger than yourself\, you’ll find opportunities to work\, connect and reflect together. \nMany guests tell us that one of the most rewarding parts of the week is the sense of shared achievement. By the end of your stay\, you’ll have played a part in preparing the Abbey for another season of welcome\, hospitality and community. \nCan’t make these dates? We also offer a Work Week in the autumn (30th October–5th November) as we prepare the Abbey for the quieter winter months. \n\n\n\n\nMeet the Programme Leader(s)\n\n\n\n\nYour week will be guided by members of the Iona Abbey team\, who hold the rhythm of community life\, worship and shared activities throughout your stay. \n\n\n\n\nWhat to expect\n\n\n\n\nEach day follows a shared rhythm of work\, worship and community life. \nYou’ll spend part of the day helping with practical tasks around the Abbey and grounds. Depending on the needs of the week\, this might include gardening\, painting\, deep cleaning\, preparing worship spaces or other seasonal projects. No specialist skills are required — just a willingness to contribute and work alongside others. \nThere is also time to enjoy the island\, explore the coastline\, and connect with fellow guests over shared meals and conversation. Worship in the Abbey Church is at the heart of each day\, and everyone is warmly invited to take part. \nThis Iona Abbey work week offers a balance of purposeful activity and time to pause. While the week is more hands-on than many of our programmes\, guests often find it to be a deeply rewarding and reflective experience. For those interested in UK Christian volunteering opportunities or a volunteer retreat in Scotland\, it offers a unique way to contribute\, connect and be part of the life of the Abbey. \nThe week concludes with a ceilidh celebration\, giving everyone the chance to come together and celebrate what has been achieved. \n\n\nKey Information\n\n\n\n\nBefore booking\, it’s helpful to know that this week combines practical work with community life at the Abbey. You’ll contribute to a range of seasonal projects while sharing meals\, worship and daily life with staff\, volunteers and other guests. No specialist skills are required\, and accommodation\, meals and programme activities are included in the cost of your stay. \n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Book Spring Work Week” style=”custom” custom_text=”#666666″ size=”lg” css_animation=”none” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fbooking-directly.com%2Fwidgets%2FZ8ayvaEvw2SsrbCpGHLzeQZxQGqxQJy163aSHXVJnHbgCb53vffml4WKihlt5%2Fproperties%2Funit-selection%3Fsearch_stay_dates%3D%257B%2522checkInDate%2522%253A%25222027-03-06%2522%252C%2522checkOutDate%2522%253A%25222027-03-12%2522%257D%26search_occupancies%3D%255B%257B%2522numberOfAdults%2522%253A2%252C%2522children%2522%253A%255B%255D%257D%255D|target:_blank|rel:nofollow” el_class=”tealbtn generalbtn”][vc_separator css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css_animation=”none” css=”” el_class=”largeheading navy_title”]\nBooking Information\n[/vc_column_text][vc_toggle title=”What’s included” css_animation=”none” custom_font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23568ea4″ custom_google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”” use_custom_heading=”true”]Your stay at Iona Abbey includes everything you need to fully take part in the experience: \n+ Accommodation in the Abbey \n+ Breakfast\, lunch and dinner each day \n+ All programme sessions \n+ Music\, art and craft opportunities \n+ Guided walks[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Pricing & discounts” css_animation=”none” custom_font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23568ea4″ custom_google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”” use_custom_heading=”true”] Prices vary depending on the type of week and length of stay. \n\nStandard week (6 nights): from £960 (adult)\n\nReduced rates available from £480\n\n\nNon-Standard Week (6 Nights) from £1\,152 (Adult)\n\nReduced rates available from £576\n\n\nWork Week (6 Nights) from £600 (Adult)\n\nReduced rates available from £300\n\n\nChildren aged 5–15: £480\nChildren under 5: free (contact abbeybooking@iona.org.uk)\n\nA 20% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your booking. \nWe offer a 50% reduced rate for eligible UK residents\, including: \n+ Students \n+ Those on state benefits or pension \n+ Those earning below the real living wage \n+ Refugees\, asylum seekers\, or those experiencing homelessness \nA 15% family discount is automatically applied for groups of four or more (where adults pay full price). \nWe also have an Access Fund to support those who would not otherwise be able to attend. \nLearn more about financial support and how to apply.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Food & dietary” css_animation=”none” custom_font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23568ea4″ custom_google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”” use_custom_heading=”true”]All meals are provided\, with a focus on: \n+ Healthy\, seasonal\, and locally sourced ingredients \n+ Primarily vegetarian meals (with one optional meat meal per week) \nWe can cater for most dietary requirements (including vegan\, gluten-free\, and dairy-free)\, but please let us know in advance.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Accommodation” css_animation=”none” custom_font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23568ea4″ custom_google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”” use_custom_heading=”true”]+ 21 guest rooms (single\, twin\, triple and family rooms) \n+ Some rooms are accessible\, with lift access available to certain areas \n+ Guests may be asked to share a room\, particularly if travelling alone \n+ Families of up to four can usually be accommodated in one room \nIf you have specific requirements (e.g. accessibility or room type)\, please let us know when booking. \nFor full room details and accessibility information\, see our Accommodation FAQs.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Support our Access Fund” custom_font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23568ea4″ custom_google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”” use_custom_heading=”true”]While you are making your own booking\, please consider making a donation towards the Access Fund if you are able to\, which allows financially disadvantaged people to stay at Iona Abbey.

No specialist skills are required\, and accommodation\, meals and programme activities are included in the cost of your stay. \n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Book An Experience Easter on Iona” style=”custom” custom_text=”#666666″ size=”lg” css_animation=”none” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fbooking-directly.com%2Fwidgets%2FZ8ayvaEvw2SsrbCpGHLzeQZxQGqxQJy163aSHXVJnHbgCb53vffml4WKihlt5%2Fproperties%2Funit-selection%3Fsearch_stay_dates%3D%257B%2522checkInDate%2522%253A%25222027-03-24%2522%252C%2522checkOutDate%2522%253A%25222027-03-30%2522%257D%26search_occupancies%3D%255B%257B%2522numberOfAdults%2522%253A2%252C%2522children%2522%253A%255B%255D%257D%255D|target:_blank|rel:nofollow” el_class=”tealbtn generalbtn”][vc_separator css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css_animation=”none” css=”” el_class=”largeheading navy_title”]\nBooking Information\n[/vc_column_text][vc_toggle title=”What’s included” css_animation=”none” custom_font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23568ea4″ custom_google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”” use_custom_heading=”true”]Your stay at Iona Abbey includes everything you need to fully take part in the experience: \n+ Accommodation in the Abbey \n+ Breakfast\, lunch and dinner each day \n+ All programme sessions \n+ Music\, art and craft opportunities \n+ Guided walks[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Pricing & discounts” css_animation=”none” custom_font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23568ea4″ custom_google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”” use_custom_heading=”true”] Prices vary depending on the type of week and length of stay. \n\nStandard week (6 nights): from £960 (adult)\n\nReduced rates available from £480\n\n\nNon-Standard Week (6 Nights) from £1\,152 (Adult)\n\nReduced rates available from £576\n\n\nWork Week (6 Nights) from £600 (Adult)\n\nReduced rates available from £300\n\n\nChildren aged 5–15: £480\nChildren under 5: free (contact abbeybooking@iona.org.uk)\n\nA 20% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your booking. \nWe offer a 50% reduced rate for eligible UK residents\, including: \n+ Students \n+ Those on state benefits or pension \n+ Those earning below the real living wage \n+ Refugees\, asylum seekers\, or those experiencing homelessness \nA 15% family discount is automatically applied for groups of four or more (where adults pay full price). \nWe also have an Access Fund to support those who would not otherwise be able to attend. \nLearn more about financial support and how to apply.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Food & dietary” css_animation=”none” custom_font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23568ea4″ custom_google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”” use_custom_heading=”true”]All meals are provided\, with a focus on: \n+ Healthy\, seasonal\, and locally sourced ingredients \n+ Primarily vegetarian meals (with one optional meat meal per week) \nWe can cater for most dietary requirements (including vegan\, gluten-free\, and dairy-free)\, but please let us know in advance.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Accommodation” css_animation=”none” custom_font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23568ea4″ custom_google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”” use_custom_heading=”true”]+ 21 guest rooms (single\, twin\, triple and family rooms) \n+ Some rooms are accessible\, with lift access available to certain areas \n+ Guests may be asked to share a room\, particularly if travelling alone \n+ Families of up to four can usually be accommodated in one room \nIf you have specific requirements (e.g. accessibility or room type)\, please let us know when booking. \nFor full room details and accessibility information\, see our Accommodation FAQs.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Support our Access Fund” custom_font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23568ea4″ custom_google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”” use_custom_heading=”true”]While you are making your own booking\, please consider making a donation towards the Access Fund if you are able to\, which allows financially disadvantaged people to stay at Iona Abbey.

For some\, it will feel like a quiet retreat in the UK. For others\, it is an Iona retreat rooted in community\, worship and the shared rhythm of Abbey life. \nYou will share in the life of the Abbey through worship\, conversation and guided reflections\, alongside time on your own. Some people come for stillness and rest\, while others come for community and connection. \nSet on the Isle of Iona\, this retreat in Scotland gives you time to explore the island’s wild landscape\, or simply pause and be. \n\n\n\n\nMeet the Programme Leader(s)\n\n\n\n\nYour week will be guided by members of the Iona Abbey team\, who hold the rhythm of community life\, worship and shared activities throughout your stay. \n\n\n\n\nWhat to expect\n\n\n\n\nEach day follows a gentle rhythm of work\, rest and worship. \nYou will have the opportunity to take part in guided reflections\, small group conversations and the weekly pilgrimage on Iona. There is also plenty of time to walk\, rest\, pray or simply be. \nThis is a retreat with community\, so you will share meals in the refectory and take part in simple shared tasks alongside other guests. These small rhythms help shape the life of the community during your stay. \nWorship in the Abbey Church is at the heart of each day\, and you are warmly invited to take part. For those seeking a reflective experience or a Christian pilgrimage experience in the UK\, Time and Space offers a gentle pattern of belonging\, rest and renewal. \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Book Time and Space” style=”custom” custom_text=”#666666″ css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fbooking-directly.com%2Fwidgets%2FZ8ayvaEvw2SsrbCpGHLzeQZxQGqxQJy163aSHXVJnHbgCb53vffml4WKihlt5%2Fproperties%2Funit-selection%3Fsearch_stay_dates%3D%257B%2522checkInDate%2522%253A%25222027-03-30%2522%252C%2522checkOutDate%2522%253A%25222027-04-02%2522%257D%26search_occupancies%3D%255B%257B%2522numberOfAdults%2522%253A2%252C%2522children%2522%253A%255B%255D%257D%255D|target:_blank|rel:nofollow” el_class=”tealbtn generalbtn”][vc_separator css=””][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css_animation=”none” css=”” el_class=”largeheading navy_title”]\nBooking Information\n[/vc_column_text][vc_toggle title=”What’s included” css_animation=”none” custom_font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23568ea4″ custom_google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”” use_custom_heading=”true”]Your stay at Iona Abbey includes everything you need to fully take part in the experience: \n+ Accommodation in the Abbey \n+ Breakfast\, lunch and dinner each day \n+ All programme sessions \n+ Music\, art and craft opportunities \n+ Guided walks[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Pricing & discounts” css_animation=”none” custom_font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23568ea4″ custom_google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”” use_custom_heading=”true”] Prices vary depending on the type of week and length of stay. \n\nStandard week (6 nights): from £960 (adult)\n\nReduced rates available from £480\n\n\nNon-Standard Week (6 Nights) from £1\,152 (Adult)\n\nReduced rates available from £576\n\n\nChildren aged 5–15: £480\nChildren under 5: free (contact abbeybooking@iona.org.uk)\n\nA 20% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your booking. \nWe offer a 50% reduced rate for eligible UK residents\, including: \n+ Students \n+ Those on state benefits or pension \n+ Those earning below the real living wage \n+ Refugees\, asylum seekers\, or those experiencing homelessness \nA 15% family discount is automatically applied for groups of four or more (where adults pay full price). \nWe also have an Access Fund to support those who would not otherwise be able to attend. \nLearn more about financial support and how to apply.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Food & dietary” css_animation=”none” custom_font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23568ea4″ custom_google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”” use_custom_heading=”true”]All meals are provided\, with a focus on: \n+ Healthy\, seasonal\, and locally sourced ingredients \n+ Primarily vegetarian meals (with one optional meat meal per week) \nWe can cater for most dietary requirements (including vegan\, gluten-free\, and dairy-free)\, but please let us know in advance.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Accommodation” css_animation=”none” custom_font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23568ea4″ custom_google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”” use_custom_heading=”true”]+ 21 guest rooms (single\, twin\, triple and family rooms) \n+ Some rooms are accessible\, with lift access available to certain areas \n+ Guests may be asked to share a room\, particularly if travelling alone \n+ Families of up to four can usually be accommodated in one room \nIf you have specific requirements (e.g. accessibility or room type)\, please let us know when booking. \nFor full room details and accessibility information\, see our Accommodation FAQs.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Support our Access Fund” custom_font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23568ea4″ custom_google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”” use_custom_heading=”true”]While you are making your own booking\, please consider making a donation towards the Access Fund if you are able to\, which allows financially disadvantaged people to stay at Iona Abbey.
