Upcoming Retreats

Small group retreats across Britain. Each retreat is a curated experience, built around one place and the stories that belong to it.

A handful of unhurried days, held by us and the people who know the ground.

Pubs & Pathways

The Cotswolds, England
22 to 28 September 2027

A week of stunning walks and traditional pubs in the Cotswolds, with a tale to tell each day. We walk the old ways from Chipping Campden to Broadway Tower, along the escarpment from Stanton, through the Slad Valley of Cider with Rosie, and down through Woodchester Park to a mansion that was never finished. We stand among the Rollright Stones, step inside Kelmscott Manor, and drink some Old Spot at Uley with the brewer who made it. Each night ends in an old inn or by a fire, with our storyteller telling the day's tale in the place it belongs.

Feast & Fable

Devon, England
18 to 24 May 2027

Food and folklore in equal measure, based at Fowlescombe, a regenerative Devon farm that is luxuriously understated, bucolic and quietly beautiful. Sunrise foraging on Dartmoor, a masterclass with a Great British Menu chef, sacred sites and the stories that cling to them. Sauna, wild swimming, and folk tales told aloud around the flame.

Thistle & Flame

East Lothian, Scotland
4 to 10 October 2027

A week of honouring, based at an architectural gem below the Lammermuir Hills. We walk the ground where the women of Fife and East Lothian were accused of witchcraft, tried and burned. None of them were witches. Most were poor, all were ordinary, and together we give them back their names. History, grief held gently, firelight and good company. Not about spells. About remembering your own voice.

Sea, Song & Sanctuary

Cornwall, England
September 2028

A women's pilgrimage along the wild north Cornish coast, where the veil runs thin. Tintagel and Merlin's cave, the South West Coast Path and hidden fishing villages, the tale of the mermaid who sang a man into the sea. Wild Atlantic swims and beach feasts as the light goes, a women's shanty crew teaching you to sing back, and an afternoon cutting the coast into linocut. Stone, sea, and song.
