Our Creative Writing Retreat held at the Institute's stunning 16th-century mansion, Madingley Hall, is designed for those who ‘just want to write’ in supportive and welcoming surroundings. This is the perfect opportunity to finish (or perhaps start) that writing project, a chance to give yourself the time and space to think and write in an environment ideally suited to your creative needs.

The total cost of the retreat is £850 which covers tuition, accommodation, meals and refreshments. We regret that it is not possible to attend the retreat as a non-residential guest.
