When I started the UK Art Retreats (we are on our 21st this May at Fanhams Hall Hotel in Ware, Hertfordshire) I could not have known that these would become more than just Creative breaks. The 'Fanhams Family' which is a small community of Artists/Creatives who not only love this very exceptional venue and of course the two days Oasis of Creative Fun but deeply care about and look forward to catching up with their fabulous friends/friendships they have cultivated across the last 9 years! I am proud of the Community I have built around my now legendary Art Retreats. I will paint a picture for you of what to expect from your Retreat: A warm welcome begins your journey into being cossetted and looked after for the whole of your stay. Exceptional food, venue, location and grounds make Fanhams Hall Hotel our beloved home from home. Staff who cannot do enough for us across the 2 days to make our event and our stay everything we wish for. Grade II listed grounds that are incredible in May and in October when we are there reveal different colours & flowers/plants that enhance our rest and relaxation. My job is a joy: to introduce Artists to new projects that stimulate and allow exploration for them them in new ways (metallic leaf and famous masterpieces will feature this May) aswell as fast and fun challenges that make them laugh and delight them in pushing the buttons of their imagination with their surprising nature. Fanhams is fully booked but you may want to consider the end of October Retreat if you want to join us?
Luxury Lanzarote Art & Wellbeing Retreat is back for a second year! Choosing from our 7 day or 10 day package, half board, exceptional hotel/resort, where 8 of us are booked to enjoy the Art & the looking after ourselves well in the sunshine this September. I may be able to add you to the list (although prices rise all the time the nearer we get to September) and you will get to experience time and I do mean a lot of time with us, on this Holiday where you will go home and feel you have been away at least 2 weeks, after you have completed a wonderful self care break where the focus is on you. Includes minimum 12 hours of art time, one spa visit, junior suite each, half board: breakfast and dinner (food), plus smoothies/juices, teas and coffees at breakfast. All resort entertainments, yoga, pilates, aqua-aerobics, gym included last time we went. Everyone who came last year loved it, some have even booked back they loved it so much, a great endorsement of a fantastic resort.
