SOCIETY Wider Community Gathering & 75th Anniversary

Braziers Park Self-Led Residency:
Winter Writers’ Retreat
A peaceful weekend retreat for writers to reflect, connect, and create in the tranquil surroundings of Braziers Park. With no fixed agenda, participants are free to shape their own rhythm – writing, sharing, or simply thinking. Enjoy quiet focus, shared silence, and the companionship of a small, like-minded community. Communal spaces, nourishing meals, and the calm of nature offer the perfect setting to deepen your creative practice.
Autumn Yoga Day Retreat
Treat yourself to a rejuvenating day of connecting with yourself and the cycle of the seasons; reflect upon our journey through the year so far set nourishing intentions for the coming months. We will journey through a range of seasonally inspired practices to explore the Autumn as a time for taking stock of our harvests (both literal and metaphorical) from the summer months, for processing and preserving the fruits of our labours to sustain us over the winter months, and for composting that which no longer serves us.
Introduction to Mural Painting
Spend a creative day at Braziers Park exploring the art of mural painting with artist and community resident Nor Greenhalgh. Learn how to take your designs from the page to the wall through guided demonstrations and hands-on practice. The workshop will cover materials, techniques, and approaches to working on a large scale, while encouraging collaboration and creative experimentation.The day includes a shared lunch, conversation, and time to enjoy Braziers’ inspiring house and grounds. Suitable for all skill levels.
Braziers Park’s Midwinter Retreat
Join us at Braziers Park for our Midwinter Retreat – a gentle, restorative gathering to rest, reflect, and reconnect as we move from the old year into the new. Step away from the seasonal rush and enjoy shared meals, quiet moments by the fire, walks in nature, and the warmth of communal life in the peaceful setting of Braziers Park. Each day will follow a relaxed rhythm of shared activity, conversation, and stillness, with space to read, dream, or simply be. Together we will mark the turning of the year with simplicity, presence, and care, whilst creating time to breathe deeply and begin anew.
