Friday 5th July - Sunday 7th July 2024:

Escape to the beautiful countryside of Oxfordshire for a weekend of total harp immersion with friendly tutors, delicious meals, inspiring concerts and peaceful surroundings. Now in it's 6th year, the adult harp retreat is open to pedal and non pedal harpists of all abilities and takes place at Charney Manor, a 13th century conference and retreat centre in the village of Charney Basset near Wantage. Keziah Thomas and Heather Downie lead classes and workshops which concentrate on ensemble playing, improvisation and performance. As well as working in groups divided by ability, there is also a public concert, a musical party and plenty of time for private practise...or socialising!

Accommodation

The accommodation consists of single occupancy ensuite bedrooms with tea and coffee making facilities. Charney Manor is renowned for its excellent home cooked meals which are included in the cost of the retreat. Non participating relatives/guests are welcome to join the weekend, sharing a bedroom with a participant.
