Join us in the beautiful Cumbrian countryside for a relaxed and restorative knitting retreat at the stunning Melmerby Hall. This is our classic Country House retreat - a chance to slow down, enjoy your knitting, and spend time with fellow makers in a peaceful setting.
Unlike some retreats with packed schedules, this week is intentionally loose and relaxed. The idea is to give you space to enjoy the retreat in whatever way feels best to you.
You might choose to wake early and explore the surrounding fells, or sleep in and spend the morning knitting in your pyjamas with a cup of tea. There’s no pressure and no rigid timetable - just time to unwind, knit, and enjoy good company.
