One Day Guided Writers’ Retreat with Helena Fox – 18th July 2025

One-Day Creative Writing Retreat with Helena Fox

Guided Experience | Includes Lunch & Refreshments

Looking for the perfect excuse to press pause on the chaos and finally focus on that story idea buzzing around your brain? This inspiring one-day writers’ retreat is a golden opportunity to do just that – with expert guidance, a peaceful setting, and absolutely no washing up to do.

Led by the brilliant Helena Fox – an award-winning playwright, audio dramatist and scriptwriter – this immersive writing day is ideal for anyone looking to deepen their craft, find their voice or simply spend the day doing something joyfully creative. Whether you’re working on your first monologue or plotting your second novel, you’ll be in good company.

Expect a relaxed, supportive environment where ideas flow freely, with structured writing prompts, guided exercises, and group discussion. You’ll also have space to write independently and soak up a bit of inspiration from your fellow wordsmiths.

Helena brings a wealth of experience to the table, with commissions from BBC Writersroom, the North York Moors National Park and a host of museums and theatres. Her work often explores the messy, beautiful space between individual and collective experience – particularly around themes of mental health and lived history. In short, you’re in very good hands.

Lunch and refreshments are included, so all you need to bring is your notebook, your favourite pen and your wild imagination.

Perfect for:

– Budding writers, script enthusiasts and journal junkies

– Anyone craving a creative escape in good company

– A unique gift for book lovers and creatives
