A unique Shabbat experience with Rabbi Debbie & other families, surrounded by the wonderful outdoors.
We are delighted to announce that this year we will again be going to Wellington Country Park for our yearly Family Camping Shabbaton. Just an hour away from EHRS in Riseley, near Reading. https://wellingtoncountrypark.co.uk/
A unique Shabbat experience with Rabbi Debbie & other families, surrounded by the wonderful outdoors. We will come together to bring in Shabbat with a Friday night BBQ, enjoy an inclusive outdoors Shabbat morning service, and see out Shabbat together with a Havdalah fire pit. (marshmallows mandatory!).
With plenty of free time… you will have 24hr access to the country park included in the camping fee. The park is perfect for children and the whole family, with huge adventure playgrounds, an enchanted forest, splash park, indoor soft play, mini golf, dinosaur trail, sandpits etc. as well as beautiful woodland walks and lake trails. There really is so much to do, hence why we just can’t find a better site!
This year we will also be offering a programme of optional activities for older children/siblings (aged 9+). This will enable them to explore the park in a different way and get involved in activities designed for their age group.
