Are you a writer in need of a day in nature? Do you find inspiration when surrounded by other writers? Is finding time for your writing a challenge?
May I present some solutions...
DAY WRITING RETREATS
Imagine a beautiful setting where you will be inspired by nature in ancient woodland.
Find yourself in the company of other writers who will encourage and inspire you.
Be tempted to pick up your pen with both writing exercises and time to write.
I've been running these day retreats for several years and they never fail to deliver creativity, inspiration and lots of writing!
There are two locations - Whirligig Woods near Congleton and Ince Benet near Crosby. Both are unique. Both are really special.
A delicious lunch is also included in the price.

RESIDENTIAL WRITING RETREATS
Held at the beautiful Ince Benet Retreat Centre near Crosby these weekend retreats are perfect for writers at all stages in their writing adventure.

Optional workshops/writing exercises.
A chance to share work and receive feedback from the group.
1-1's with host Jude Lennon.
A chance to meet and chat to other writers.
All meals, tea and coffee are included. Wine is served with dinner.
And if it's not possible for you to get away for a whole weekend, there is an option to join us just for the Saturday.
