About Swanwick

A family weekend, set apart

Since the early 1950s, Swanwick Bible Weekends has brought Christadelphian families together for a long weekend of focused Bible study, shared worship, and warm fellowship at the Hayes Conference Centre in Derbyshire. Around 200 people come every year — from crèche age through to the oldest members of the brotherhood. The weekend runs Friday evening to Sunday afternoon, with main studies, age-specific children's classes, option groups, family worship, and plenty of time simply to be together. First-timers always find a warm welcome.

For every age

From crèche to the eldest among us — sessions, classes, and activities sized for every stage of life.

All-inclusive weekend

Three days residential at the Hayes Conference Centre — meals, rooms, and everything in between.
