The accommodation arranged by Marygate Singers for 2025 is now back on Holy Island.
2025 will be at Marygate House, an ecumenical centre for retreats and pilgrimage. The house offers comfortable accommodation with 9 bedrooms. All meals are taken together in the dining room of Marygate House.
COST for those staying in Marygate House works on the basis of a 'suggested donation' rather than a fixed charge for accommodation. The suggestion for the 2025 week is in the region of £520 per person, full board, payable individually. However, this is a suggestion only; Marygate House would be very distressed if any friends felt they could not come for financial reasons.
Taxpayers can increase the value of their donation by signing a Gift Aid form.
Singers are also welcome to make their own arrangements for accommodation if they prefer, joining us for rehearsals and events, but we do need to maximise occupancy of the House. If staying off the island this needs careful planning to avoid being caught by the tide! Those not staying in the House may take meals there (Lunch, Dinner, coffee etc.) and are asked to make a donation towards their meals.
There are various other options, B&B, self catering cottages etc. There is a comprehensive list here. It first shows 'serviced' accommodation i.e. where meals are provided, but also links to a large number of self catering opportunities. Not shown on either page are the Manor House Hotel and Crown and Anchor Inn.
