Upcoming Course
Queer Feels
August 31st - September 5th - Sold out
This year’s theme is Queer Feels, in which we’ll think about the embodied experience of being queer, the interconnection of internal and external experience, & how to articulate queerly.
Whether you’re working in prose, poetry and something inbetween, each of the four morning workshops will support you in generating new writing and working towards a ‘piece’ or ‘draft’ over the week’s retreat.
We’ll look at writers such as Robert Glück, Prudence Bussey-Chamberlaine, Megan Fernandes, Sara Ahmed and more.
The Retreat
The retreat is easily accessed by driving or by public transport.
Writers can book alone or with friends, self-catering or catered.
Our writers’ rate for the cottage is £850 a week (the price is for the whole cottage - three bedrooms, two sitting rooms, two bathrooms - not per person).
By opening a connecting room between the house and the cottage, we can facilitate groups of up to seven people in single-occupancy rooms (eight if two people share a twin room).
For larger groups we partner with two local B&Bs.
We can also quote a price for bespoke retreats: perhaps you are a group who would like to come away together & have a part-catered, part-self-catering stay. Drop us a line with any questions.
