Retreats for Writers, Shakespeare Enthusiasts, Digital Nomads and Stressed Individuals
A Place To Write
A Place to Write launched its inspiring writing retreats at Bron Y Graig in May 2023, and since then, the program has expanded to offer a diverse range of retreats tailored to different topics and needs. Whether you're seeking creativity, relaxation or inspiration, there's something for everyone. Check out the full lineup of current and upcoming retreats hosted by A Place to Write below!
Writing Retreats
Our signature retreats offer the ultimate writing escape: five nights of full-board accommodation in a serene, stunning setting. Each day kicks off with goal-setting sessions, and in the evenings, we keep things lively with fun activities. You’ll be fueled by endless tea, coffee, and delicious home-cooked meals throughout your stay.
On our tutored retreats, you'll also enjoy expert-led workshops and one-on-one sessions to guide and inspire your writing journey. Running every month (except August), these retreats often sell out, welcoming up to nine writers at a time to experience the unique magic of Bron Y Graig and A Place to Write.

Shakespeare Retreats
Step away from the everyday and dive into the world of Shakespeare with fellow enthusiasts at our exclusive retreats, held 4-5 times a year. Each retreat is centered around a specific theme or set of plays, bringing the Bard to life through play readings, immersive workshops, mini-lectures, and lively panel discussions. Often, there’s even a performance element for those who love to take the stage!
Enjoy the luxury of your own spacious ensuite room with full board, and connect with like-minded individuals who share your passion for Shakespeare in this unique, enriching experience.
Pampering Retreats
Coming in early 2025: treat yourself to the ultimate three-day luxury retreat designed to reset your body and nourish your soul. Each guest enjoys their own ensuite room and a full lineup of relaxing experiences: start your days with calming morning mindfulness, and tap into your creativity with guided workshop sessions. Evenings bring cosy movie nights, while afternoon tea with prosecco and breakfast in bed on your final morning add extra indulgence.
All this, set against the backdrop of peaceful, dark sky surroundings—far from the stresses of daily life. What more could you ask for in a rejuvenating escape?
