Come and write through the spring, summer and autumn in the glorious, unique setting of Howsham Mill.

A gorgeous retreat from the busy world to write, reflect, and absorb the magic of the place. Get your creative year anchored in these beautiful days.

Howsham Mill writing retreat in spring:  unfurl your creativity, enjoy the gentle buzz as the year gets exciting, and sink into lots of time to rest, write and play.

A day at the mill in midsummer: creative rest, the rush of water, the buzz of bees and your writing, dragonflies dancing about the river, sunlight dancing amongst the leaves... join us! 

Autumn splendour at the mill... come join in the mellow fruitfulness...
