The Writers' Retreat is a forthcoming day-long event at Hardwick Park in Nottingham where participants can bring their own projects. Various performers facilitate sessions for those working on novels, academic papers or blogs within the park setting.
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.

Throughout the day, enjoy breaks exploring the parkland. Refreshments and lunch is also included. There's nothing to think about apart from your writing project!
