Creative Summer Gatherings

Summer is about slowing down, spending time together and making memories.

Whether you’re catching up with friends, entertaining the children during the holidays, planning a unique date, or simply looking for a peaceful moment to yourself, our Creative Summer Gatherings offer a relaxed experience where everyone can enjoy creating at their own pace.

Instead of rushing from one activity to the next, we’ve created a space where creativity, conversation and calm come together. No experience is needed, just arrive, choose something that inspires you and enjoy the moment.

A Summer Experience for Everyone

Our Creative Summer Gatherings have been designed for all ages and abilities, making them the perfect activity for:

• Families during the school holidays
• Friends enjoying quality time together
• Grandparents and grandchildren
• Couples looking for something different
• Individuals seeking a mindful creative escape

Every guest chooses their own creative activity, meaning everyone can make something they’ll love whatever their age or interests.

Create in Beautiful Surroundings

Your session takes place at The Drawing Room, surrounded by peaceful gardens and countryside.

Depending on the weather, you may enjoy your creative experience:

• In our beautiful greenhouse
• Outdoors in the courtyard
• Inside our welcoming creative studio

Each space has been chosen to help you slow down, relax and enjoy the season.
