A retreat for general arts practitioners

If you have a creative project you long to spend time with — a creative work, an artistic practice, a professional inquiry, or a reflective project — this retreat offers you time, space, and focus in a beautiful setting.

Each day there will also be optional guided walks in the magical La Selva forest and along the stunning Costa Brava coastline.Lunch and dinner will be served around the giant table, with food freshly prepared by our superb Cordon Bleu, Michelin star restaurant trained chef, Lucy Doherty.

If you have a brilliant idea but aren’t sure how to bring it to life on the page, if you’re floundering in the middle of a draft, if you just can’t find the time to finish the damn thing – join us for five magical days and six convivial nights this Autumn and let us help you.

Highlights of your writing holiday will include: one-to-one consultations and stimulating workshops led by PRISCILLA MORRIS, Women’s Prize shortlisted author of Black Butterflies; classes to generate and craft writing facilitated by our wonderful guest author, MELISSA FU, whose debut novel Peach Blossom Spring was a BBC Radio 2 Book Club Pick; ample writing and free time; a writing table in each room; a guided walk of the local area and a trip to the sea and the rugged Costa Brava; access to magical forest trails; dips in the pool; dinner out in a harbour-side seafood restaurant and delicious meals prepared by a Cordon Bleu-trained chef.

Come, write, enjoy! Unlock your creative potential and take your writing to the next level in 2026.
