Forget New Year resolutions. During this retreat we'll focus on nurturing creativity and shrinking the inner critic so that you step into 2026 with creative courage!
Booking a writing retreat is self-care. Set your intentions for the year in the beautiful Burlington Hotel and spend two wonderful days playing on the page without pressure.
You’ll spend the weekend with understanding, welcoming and supportive humans who will encourage your creativity whatever you write and whatever stage you're at from beginner to more advanced. All writers are very welcome.

Retreats are notoriously expensive so WLAG has worked hard to make this two-day retreat affordable.
The retreat cost covers lunch on both days, coffee, tea and biscuits, and full weekend support including an optional one-to-one session with Kerry. You’ll be guided through playful, gentle writing sprints, leaving inspired with a deeper understanding of how to carry your writing forward with joy into 2026 and beyond.
Note: accommodation not included. You can choose to book the hotel itself or book accommodation of your choice that matches your budget - on booking you’ll be sent a range of suggestions from budget to luxe.
