Spend a day immersed in writing and honing your skills with celebrated author, Holly Dawson.
About this Event

After the first sell-out event in March, we’re thrilled to offer a new opportunity to join a Writer's Retreat day with Holly Dawson — published author of and Reader in Residence at Charleston.

Designed to unlock creativity and take your writing to the next level, the retreat blends guided prompts, readings and reflective exercises, with a dedicated 1:1 session with Holly to explore your work in more detail.

Whether you’re a seasoned writer or just beginning, you’ll develop your voice in the company of fellow writers, in an environment that encourages focus, curiosity and connection.

Set at luxury eco retreat, The Grain Store Lewes, in the South Downs, you’ll have both quiet corners to work and communal spaces to gather. Lunch is a delicious vegan spread by Chloe Edwards of Seven Sisters Spices, with tea and coffee available throughout the day.


Concession Tickets

We want this event to be as accessible as possible. A limited number of concession tickets are available for those who may find the standard ticket price a barrier at this time.

If this applies to you, please get in touch via the contact button on Eventbrite, or through Holly or The Grain Store, and we’ll share a private link to purchase a concession ticket for £80.


Access Needs

We want everyone to feel comfortable and included, and welcome participants with physical, sensory, cognitive, emotional and learning access needs. If you require any adjustments, please let us know in advance so we can support you fully.
