About Our Creative Retreats at Court House Farm

A Place to Reawaken and Deepen Your Creativity

Court House Farm is a historic manor surrounded by wild gardens, rustic outbuildings and calm, atmospheric spaces. Our creative retreats are designed for people who want to learn from leading artists and artisans — those who admire their work, follow their practice or feel inspired by their creative voice.

We welcome practising artists, dedicated hobbyists, and returning or emerging creatives alike. Whether you’re seeking to develop your creative practice, reconnect after a long pause, or simply immerse yourself in a restorative creative escape, this is a place to breathe, make, explore and be gently restored.

About Court House Farm

Set in a medieval and Tudor-era manor, Court House Farm is full of character and quiet beauty. With peaceful gardens, a converted lodge house, studios, and farmstead outbuildings, the estate provides a nurturing backdrop for deep creative focus. Everything here is designed to slow you down and invite you into a more spacious rhythm.

Where You’ll Stay

Residential guests stay in either the Manor House or the nearby Lodge House in a choice of shared or private rooms. Each room is comfortable, atmospheric and full of historic charm. The Lodge House is just at the end of our drive, a Victorian property offering comfort & style to our guests and allowing residential spaces for a max of 12 guests.
Non-residential (local) guests join us daily for workshops, lunch and studio time, returning home each evening.

Food & Nourishment

Food is a core part of the retreat experience. Our chef prepares fresh, seasonal meals each day — generous, homely and full of flavour. All dietary needs can be accommodated with notice. Teas, coffees and refreshments are always available, and meals are served communally to encourage connection.

The Art “An inspiring mix of creativity, calm, and connection — I left recharged and full of ideas.”
