A day to write, reflect and reconnect with your creative self
Location: Brockhall, Northamptonshire
Dates: Friday 5th September with more dates to be announced (express interest below)
Cost: £75 (introductory price)
This day retreat is designed especially for writers who want to get words on the page, reconnect with their stories and enjoy a sense of creative community.​
Held in a stunning converted barn at The Old Dairy — a beautiful 17th century house tucked away in the Northamptonshire countryside — this day is yours to write, wander, think or simply breathe. We’ll gather in the morning, set intentions and then you’ll have uninterrupted time to write in cosy indoor nooks or outside in the garden (complete with gazebo for unpredictable weather).
Tea, coffee and homemade cake will be on hand to fuel your muse with a yummy platter for lunch. There will even be a nice glass of Prosecco available for those who want it. In the final hour, we’ll come together for a relaxed workshop and chat with Tracy on hand to offer insight, encouragement and practical tools, whether you're drafting, querying, or rebuilding confidence after a knock.​
