Social Life

Festivals and seasonal recreational activities are shared with Camphill Glencraig, though as the little community in Holywood grows, more and more can be generated around the shop. Evening interest groups of local townsfolk together with Camphill Holywood, organise art courses, writing groups, folk-music sessions, all of which use the café as their meeting place. Close by, in the centre for the Christian Community, coworkers can find additional social and spiritual activities. Nearby, the Holywood Rudolf Steiner School provides an excellent education, as well as easy contact with the wider community, for the children of coworkers in Camphill Holywood.
