2008 Family Holiday

Isle of Wight - July 26 to August 2

The Open Bible Trust will be staying at St. Rhadagunds again, with its stunning view south over the English Channel. It is just 2 miles from Ventnor and occupies one of the prime sites on the Isle of Wight. Being right on the south of the island, the weather is often milder than the rest of Britain due to the almost sub-tropical climate in this part of the island - visit the nearby botanical gardens and see the plants which grow there which do not grow elsewhere in Britain, and at night find the glow worms!

St. Rhads has six acres of beautiful wooded grounds and the house itself has great character and charm with excellent facilities for meetings, plus many indoor games including pool, table tennis, darts, carpet bowls etc. Also there are a host of attractions and places of interest on the island. It is just 10 minutes walk to the nearest beach, and other superb beaches are close by, and there are many lovely walks, both coastal and inland. All activities are optional but on offer is a prayer meeting before breakfast and a Bible study after breakfast, and then people are free to plan day time activities, either on their own or in groups. In the evening, after the meal, there is a communal fellowship activity.  Please do join us if you are able. It is always a good holiday, with great fellowship and Bible teaching.

The basic prices for the week are as follows:

However, one child under 12 in a family room is also free of charge. En suite rooms are £7 per night extra (£49 for the week). Double or larger rooms used by a single person incur a supplement of just £12 for the week.

The standard terms are Half Board, and this is reflected in the prices above, but this includes all three meals on a Sunday. Packed lunches are offered at extra cost and may vary according to what is chosen, and the total is settled at the end of the week.

A deposit of £60 per adult, or £25 for children and £30 for senior citizens, is required at time of booking and the balance  due later. Space is limited so please book early. Please make cheques payable to ‘The Open Bible Trust’ and send them to:
