The Retreat at Elcot Park

Come away with us for a late summer soiree: 26-28 September 2025 in a former poet’s abode

The goal for our weekends is to provide maximum book time – whether you are planning to finish a series or reintroduce yourself to the joy of books - all our activities are optional and everything is designed to be enjoyed in moderation.

The Retreat, Elcot Park

Cap of your summer time with a weekend treat at a former writer’s childhood home in Berkshire. This highly reviewed, 18th-century house regularly ranks as a top small hotel in the UK and comes with indoor and outdoor pools, views of the North Wessex Downs and 5 star food.

Enjoy croquet on the lawn in between chapters and Aperol spritz before author events.

We hope you can join: 26-28 September 2025
