HighTide Writers' Retreat and Night Walks

Just announced is the HighTide Writers' Retreat over the weekend of 30th March -1st April http://www.hightide.org.uk/event/spring_writers_retreat If you don't know HighTide, it's a great theatre festival that supports and develops new writing talent and is based in our local market town of Halesworth. The Festival started in 2007 and has been going from strength to strength - this year it is putting on 16 plays in the first 10 days of May as well as discussions with cast and crew, debates, social events and more. The whole thing is really buzzy and highly recommended (especially as it coincides with asparagus season, and our newly planted asparagus will be ready for picking this year!). Check out the website for full details of the programme http://www.hightide.org.uk

Alongside the Festival, HighTide works with new writers to develop their talent and runs a series of retreats and workshops throughout the year. We are delighted to be hosting the Spring Retreat. These events are in great demand, so do check out the details soon if you are interested.

And at the other end of the season is a themed weekend in celebration of Night Walks, led by travel writer and journalist Dixe Wills. Over the weekend of 28th-30th September we'll be taking advantage of the full moon to go on a hike around the local lanes once the sun has gone down. We'll be making the most of our campfires too and getting out the large stew pot for some proper campfire cooking, along with toasted marshmallows and cocoa! See our Courses section for more details.
