Bring your own project and join us for a day-long writers’ retreat in Hardwick Park. Whether you’re working on a novel, academic paper, blog, dissertation, essay, memoir, poetry, or a professional project, this retreat is your space to write with purpose and peace. Facilitated by writers, the retreat offers quiet writing time, supportive group check-ins, and the chance to connect with a community of writers.

Writing retreats are shown to help people make real progress with their work by offering protected time, a calm environment, and the motivation of writing alongside others. They help beat procrastination, reduce isolation, boost confidence and support wellbeing.

Throughout the day, enjoy breaks exploring the parkland. Refreshments and lunch is also included.
