Creative reflection days for artists in a tranquil, (almost) secret garden in Leicestershire.
Over a year from summer 2024 to summer 2025, I was artist in residence at Mill Field Forest Garden, Leicestershire. Over that time, I hosted some open days for artists to come along and experience immersion in nature and chance to breathe and relax. I’ve just done the photoshoot for some of the work I made so will be finally sharing it all soon! Meanwhile, this summer I’m hosting three more open retreat days where creatives can come to enjoy this wonderful place and recharge their batteries.
Join me for a nourishing day of nature connection and gentle creativity. I will offer some creative activities and prompts for you to use if you wish or you can do whatever you feel inspired to do: draw, write, photograph, listen, collect leaves or simply relax.
Thursdays

Bring your own lunch, hot & cold drinks available. Clean, comfortable compost toilet too. And now, three wonderful new large tables perfect for working on. We also have a shelter from the sun/rain, a small cabin and a lush, plant-filled polytunnel.
Tickets are just £8 to cover the hire costs for the garden.
[One of my tasks in the role of co-director of the garden has been sourcing this wonderful new furniture, thanks to a donation]
