Event New Norcia Weekend 2023: April 29-30 **SOLD OUT**

Some love photography. Some love writing. But maybe some are just looking for a nice weekend away. That’s why we offer three choices:

Just come for the weekend, meet the team, spend time with like-minded people, explore, rest a little and come to our concert.

Learn skills and techniques in our travel writing sessions.

Photowalk with professionals and hone your image making — whether you’re using a camera or your phone.

In other words, there’s a package for all on New Norcia Weekend Away on Saturday April 29 and Sunday April 30, staying in renovated buildings, and with all meals included.

All packages will include:

Abbey Church Performance with Stephen Scourfield and guests.

Travel Team Panel Session with Stephen Scourfield, Will Yeoman and Mogens Johansen.
