The best one-day writing retreat in brilliant Chichester

In need of time & space to write? Yeah, us too. Which is why we created our famously productive one-day writing retreats — to give writers the headspace and the writing space they need to let their words flow. A supportive environment + an endless supply of caffeine ‘n ‘snacks + gold stars for motivation + all the pep and encouragement you could ever need = the perfect set up for writing bliss. Our Chichester writing retreat is one of our most popular sessions, filled with like-minded creatives working on a whole heap of different and exciting projects. There’s no pressure — no awkward ice-breakers — just a safe place for you to write to your heart’s content. So get your butt down to Chichester Writers’ Retreat and let us help you get the words out (of your brain, not your butt).
