Life Writing Retreat

Join us for a fun and inspiring in-person retreat lead by published author Kathy Barnby where you'll dive into the art of life writing. Whether you're penning your memoirs or just love storytelling, this workshop is your chance to connect with like-minded creatives, share stories, and boost your writing skills in a relaxed, supportive setting. Bring your favorite notebook and get ready to explore your life tales like never before!

Join us at The Coach House, Goodnestone Park, (open to all over 18, no experience needed) including tea, coffee, introductions, garden entry, a delicious lunch at the Old Dairy Café, and free onsite parking, with access requirements welcomed—contact us to discuss.

Once regularly visited by Jane Austen, Goodnestone Park carries a distinctive literary spirit that makes it an ideal setting for our writing retreat. Set within 15 acres of beautifully designed gardens, the estate blends elegant formality with peaceful woodland paths and wide, open views. The Walled Garden, reflective ponds, terraces, and sweeping lawns provide a rich backdrop for creative exploration, while quiet corners invite moments of contemplation. With its historic house, tranquil atmosphere, and ever-changing textures of light, colour, and scent, Goodnestone Park offers a landscape where participants can wander, observe, and write in a space that feels both timeless and deeply nourishing to the creative spirit.
