We are hosting 2 retreats this year. The first one is starting on Monday 10th June and leaving on Wednesday 12th June. The second date is for arrival Monday 17th June and leaving Wednesday 19th June. Please note all rooms for the first week are full, but there is still an option to stay at a local accommodation near to the venue or to camp. Both weeks content and classes will be the same (or as near as possible). Our main aim from the bead retreat is for you have an informative, enjoyable and relaxing time beading with expert tutors and like minded guests. Unsure if its for you?

We have space available to stay in this beautiful top class venue, the rooms can be single occupancy or available at a discount for sharing.  We also have various local venues that we can help you arrange accommodation at if you wish to stay locally and attend our retreat or you are able to bring your own tent and camp on site.  There is an indoor and outdoor classroom and plenty of space to have lunch indoors or outdoors too. In addition we are pleased to be able to offer a 1 or 2 day beading pass to stay off site and join for the beading each day.  You will also be welcome at the afternoon sessions at the shop and the BBQ. Please ensure you book the correct option and date when booking your retreat. Feel free to call us 01778 344550 if you wish to discuss before booking.
