Ireland Writing Retreat

Ireland Writing Retreat started six years ago as a dream. Now it’s a beautiful reality. And "...one of the 10 best creative retreats in the UK and Europe," according to The Guardian newspaper.

Week-long, creative writing holidays with a difference – scenic walks, historic excursions, food and drinks tasting, fascinating author talks and daily practical writing and editing workshops.

Plus lively, traditional Irish music concerts; island and castle tours in an awe-inspiring landscape soaked in Celtic legend; basic tuition in the Gaelic language, as well as traditional Irish ceildhe dancing.

All in a land that time forgot, Donegal, probably the most scenic part of Ireland, snug along the famous 'Wild Atlantic Way.'

After six years of hard-work, we have expanded our number, and reach, to five different week-long sessions, both in Donegal, Ireland, as well as on the picturesque Black Sea Coast of Romania and in Paris, the City of Light, in France.

Before spending your hard-earned money to join us for one of these exciting weeks, why not take a few minutes to read about our philosophy to see if it matches yours and some testimonials from previous participants who have attended in different years.
