To think of running a festival/retreat for women who have just had enough?!

A weekend in the early summer, before the schools break up.
Somewhere easy to get to by train, but in the countryside somewhere beautiful, a really relaxed hotel or other retreat building.
come with a group of friends or book a blissful room to yourself - baths in all rooms.
Some lovely lounges to relax with a book, chat to other women, play board games with great tea and coffee on tap
Great food but really relaxed and easy going
Wild swimming, walks and guided runs
a gym
Very optional talks, yoga, pilates, crafts, skills you can book on to if you want.
Arrive from Friday lunchtime, leave sometime on Sunday afternoon.
Can be badged as mandatory work training if it’s hard to get away.
Who’s in? And what else would you want or need?

Yes please! But I need kebabs and pasta and pizza not healthy green stuff 😂

@FreeRangeFloozy would you be able to share a link or the name of the place please? I've googled and can only find meditation/wellness based retreats.

Sorry if this has already been suggested, I haven't had time to read the full thread, but there is something similar that has been organised, it's called 'worldies official' and has been set up by a lady called Emer-Jay Van-Gillis.

Here's the Facebook link.

it looks brilliant, but I'm not sure if it's single sex or not and I haven't yet plucked up the courage to ask!

If its not single sex, I'm not interested, but I'm not in the mindset to ask and risk a pile on at the moment.

I believe this is for women only.

I’m in. As long as it is completely free of twig weaving , rebirthing ceremonies and “wellness”. The only singing around the campfire is to Abba or the Beatles ( we all know the words) and can we have a gin still so we can make our own gin.

I'd love this!

Jobconfused · 27/06/2022 12:42

I’m in provided that there are no Instamums

Wine, cheese & crisps that contain no calories. Also could bras be optional with no judgement? I don't like to wear mine after 6pm 🤣 also presume pjs are acceptable daytime wear??

I'd just like to curl up with a book for a couple of days to be honest.

Just had a look and they post on TikTok. This alone would be a no for the Wild Wanderers.
And another condition to add to the op’s retreat.
Absolutely no posting on social media. What goes on on retreat stays on retreat.😉

In fact it should be marketed as a strict boot camp or cookery residential course to put husbands off the scent.
