Writing retreats

Writing retreats are havens for both published and aspiring authors, whether you write poetry, prose, non-fiction, comedy, scripts or more. They provide a dedicated space to immerse in the world of writing, with inspiration, guidance and uninterrupted time to focus on your project. You’ll sharpen your skills, explore techniques and gain feedback from mentors and fellow writers in structured workshops. Spend your downtime enjoying some writerly camaraderie, bookable extras such as massage and yoga, walks and wild swims. Writers retreat options range from creative writing weekends and fully immersive weeks. Choose from hideaways in picturesque Welsh countryside and whitewashed Mediterranean villages or off-grid storytelling adventures in Botswana and a secret archipelago off the Western Cape. Pack your pen, journal and imagination and whisk away to a world of literary magic. You’re likely to leave your creative holiday with progress in your writing projects, new friendships and a deeper connection to your creative voice.
