I am beyond excited to share that due to the overwhelming success of my 2025 art retreats (which sold out in record time!), I will be hosting a single, exclusive art retreat organised by Olive and Plum Retreats, on Lundy Island in 2026. Mark your calendars for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity from June 27th to July 4th 2026.
Why Lundy Island?
Nestled in the Bristol Channel, Lundy Island is a sanctuary of natural beauty and tranquility. Its dramatic cliffs, abundant wildlife, and unspoiled landscapes make it an artist’s dream destination. From puffins and seals to wild ponies, the island offers an incredible array of subjects to inspire your creativity. With its remote location and limited access, Lundy Island is one of the UK’s hidden gems, and this retreat is a rare opportunity to experience it firsthand.
What Makes This Retreat Unique?
This 7-night retreat is open to artists of all levels. Whether you’re experienced or a complete beginner, I’ll guide you through workshops designed to help you develop your skills and connect deeply with the natural world around us. Together, we’ll focus on wildlife and seascapes, capturing the essence of Lundy’s beauty in your artwork.
We’ll be staying at Millcombe House, the island’s largest and most historic property. With stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and cosy, comfortable accommodation, it’s the perfect space to relax, recharge and let your creativity flow.
What’s Included?
Guided art workshops with me, tailored to help you capture Lundy’s unique charm.
Nature walks and rockpool explorations led by Lundy’s incredible conservation team.
Stargazing under the island’s pristine night sky - one of the best spots in the UK for observing stars.
Plenty of time to relax, explore, and connect with like-minded artists.
A Rare Opportunity
With only one retreat planned for 2026 and just 10 places available, this truly is an exclusive experience. Lundy’s limited accommodation and the intimate nature of this retreat make it an unforgettable opportunity to combine art, nature, and solitude in one magical week.
If you missed out on my 2025 retreats, don’t wait to secure your place. Spaces are expected to sell out quickly!
