Savvy Writers Day Retreats

Dates: 25 September 2026 

Our day retreats are designed especially for writers who want to get words on the page, reconnect with their stories and enjoy a sense of creative community.​ Some retreats offer a pure chance to simply write all day, in beautiful surroundings with your fellow authors. Other retreats take a more 'workshop' approach, led by bestselling author and Savvy Writers founder, Tracy Buchanan. 
 All retreats are held in a stunning converted barn at The Old Dairy — a beautiful 17th century house tucked away in the Northamptonshire countryside. A platter lunch is supplied, with tea, coffee and homemade cake on hand to fuel your muse.

Location: The Barn at The Old Dairy in Northamptonshire
Date: 25th September
Time: 10am to 4pm.
