‘Impeccably organised, class tuition of the highest quality‘
‘I am writing this on the way home from the Harrogate Renew & Reset weekend. I booked at the last minute after they had a cancellation, & was a bit nervous coming on my own.
I have had a great time, everything was impeccably organised, class tuition of the highest quality, and the change of scene has done me a lot of good.
My only regret is not swapping contact details with some of the lovely people I met!’
Alison, ‘Renew & Reset Weekend‘ February, 2024
A peaceful oasis in Rossendale Valley
Set within expansive grounds and surrounded by rolling hills and open fields, this peaceful location offers a light and airy space to unwind.
With plenty of picnic spots and grassy areas to relax, it’s a real treat to spend time here. And a fire pit adds a special cosy touch for those late evenings 😉
A short drive takes you to a local town with cafes, museum and gallery. There are some lovely restaurants, too, for Saturday evening 😋
Beyond our venue, there’s plenty of choice for walks – short or long, flat or challenging.
So definitely something, whatever your mood.
