Join a restorative day of harmony singing and immerse yourself in beautiful songs performed in full harmony, taught entirely by ear. Through creative prompts, you’ll be gently guided into a relaxed and uplifting musical experience that invites both connection and expression. This retreat day offers a welcoming space to sing, listen, and explore the joy of making music together, whether you are new to harmony singing or already enjoy group vocal work.
Expect an atmosphere that feels both nourishing and inspiring, with time to settle in, learn naturally, and enjoy the shared energy of the choir. The creative approach encourages ease, confidence, and presence, allowing the music to unfold in a way that feels accessible and engaging. It’s an opportunity to step away from everyday routines and spend a day in harmony, creativity, and collective uplift.
Set in a beautifully converted stable opposite Launceston Farmhouse, this inviting hideaway offers a peaceful countryside escape with its own private outdoor courtyard and a bateau bath generously sized for two. From the windows and garden, guests can enjoy sweeping views across organic farmland and the courtyard gardens, creating a calm and restorative setting from the moment you arrive.
Step straight out onto miles of farm tracks and bridleways that lead across the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it easy to spend the day walking, exploring, and breathing in the fresh country air. After a brisk ramble, unwind with a dip in the indoor pool or a soothing session in the sauna. In the evenings, settle in beside the wood burner with a good book and enjoy the relaxed comfort of the space.
The fully equipped kitchen gives you flexibility during your stay, with heat-and-eat meals and farm-sourced suppers available for arrival, or a village pub just a five-minute stroll away. With Dorset and Wiltshire’s many highlights nearby, including the breathtaking Jurassic Coast, this is a wonderful base for both rest and discovery.
Set on the ground floor beside the Farmhouse, this luxurious self-catering cottage is made for two. A private outdoor courtyard with a bateau bath invites long soaks beneath the stars, while the indoor pool and wood burner make it easy to unwind with a good book afterwards.
