A Day of Writing by the Sea at The Royal Victoria Hotel, overlooking the promenade

Retreats

Retreats give you something everyday life rarely does: uninterrupted creative attention. There'll be prompts, guided writing, conversation and generous stretches of independent time. Come with a project or come with nothing but curiosity. The aim isn't to produce a perfect piece of writing. It's to leave having written, discovered something and remembered why making things matters.

“I found this workshop really inspiring. It combined lots of writing time, with learning the craft of writing in a super well-organised way, analysing writing and feeding back, receiving feedback. Working in pairs and discussion round the table made it feel like a very warm supportive space to explore writing in.

Amazing what you covered in one day. I learnt so much. Thank you.”
