Whatever the task at hand, a change of setting will make all the difference.

Thinking differently at Foxes’ Retreat

Offering a creative space to your employees can breathe life into the organisation with a heavy shot of fresh air and space to think and write differently, as Sheffield , Loughborough, Derby and Nottingham universities have found!

If you would like to have a chat with us about setting up a bespoke space, please call or email, and we will be happy to talk with you to see what is the best fit for you and your colleagues.

How does a Retreat work for academic or business writers?

Dream it…

It always begins with an idea, but you don’t have the time or headspace in the normal working week to inject any newness of creativity?

A quiet space, away from the usual daily routine, can make all the difference to getting a new spin on things.

Build it…

Each bedroom has its own writing desk for independent work.

The Forge Writing Room has a large table, good wifi and project options to allow your team to work collaboratively for part or all of their stay.

Grow it…

Turning notes and ideas into usable pieces is the magical part of the journey, coming from time, space and connection here at Foxes’ Retreat.

We are always here for feedback and support.

Your success is what we are aiming for, alongside you, at each and every step.
