Lower Slaughter, Cotswolds, 11-12 April 2026

Weekend retreat

Without a doubt our most popular venue and with good reason. It's incredibly pretty and there are so many wonderful views to sketch. We take up residence of the village hall and have to pinch ourselves how lucky we are to be there. A must do event.
