How

Email me now to book. Gingerbread House also welcomes collaborations, so please get in touch if you’d like tailored courses or want to bring a course to the retreat.

Courses include subjects such as:

sculpture

comedy writing

& non-wanky wellness

The numbers for courses are small with usually only 8 guests on each course. They can be weekday or weekend, with plenty of free time to hang out and get to know each other as well as learn.

Built in 1630, but with a house on the land since the 1200s, ‘The Gingerbread House’ is a wonky, wobbly, historic and unique house alongside the river Avon in Worcestershire.

In a village not far from Evesham, the house feels like a getaway, but is just two hours from Paddington Station (and ten minutes drive from the station this end) or 50 minutes drive from Birmingham Airport.

Located just outside the upper edge of the Cotswolds it’s a great spot to explore the countryside, or stay tucked away at the house to enjoy learning and making new friends.

Come to get away, learn, make new friends, gain a new skill or even transform your professional life.

I look forward to welcoming you with good food, drinks, some excellent company and a host of amazing tutors ready to take you on a life-changing learning journey.

All courses are fully-catered with three meals plus snacks, hot and cold drinks and wine with meals. We cater to dietary requirements and love to keep you happily fed and watered.
