Are you looking for a UK weekend getaway that combines a love for nature, the joy of adventure with the magic of midsummer crafts?

Where you get to experience all the elements

Think Air from a mountain summit,  

Earth from foraging for your own crafting items, 

Water from a wild morning dip, 

And Fire from the wood pits as you stargaze.  


We love adventure. We love the magic of those long summer days. We love to get crafty. And we double love meeting other women just like us. So we’ve brought it all together to give you - The Midsummer Retreat.

"Eveniet quam natus et commodi minus consequuntur enim iure magnam nam fugit voluptas."

Samantha
CEO / Founder

Presented by Meg from The Joy Project & Mel from Make More Magic

Mixing together Meg’s love for adventure in her back garden of the Lake District with Mel’s creative eye for making incredible crafts to treasure - we wanted to create a space for women to come together for a special one of a kind weekend.

Looking for a retreat with a little bit of everything?

Want to try something new and connect with like-minded women?

Ready to kick off your summer & unleash your inner flower-child?

In need of an escape to the Lake District that won’t break the bank?

So what do we have in store?

Our home for the weekend

If you drive just 10 minutes from the stunning town of Keswick, you'll find Newlands Adventure Centre, an incredibly magical establishment that has been providing Lake District tours since 1905! They know what the hell they're doing, you know?  


This picturesque location is situated right next to a gorgeous river with views of the mountains all around. It's ideal. For accommodation, we're going ‘old school. 


Think bunk beds & midnight feasts with 2-3 people in each dorm room. We're not going 5* star, but it's comfortable, clean, safe and well… we don't expect you in your room the whole time anyways! 


Did we mention wholesome, tasty AF food and portions to put Hogwarts to shame? All your food for the weekend will be covered in your ticket.

This June, make time for a midsummer celebration like no other

Imagine waking up to the sound of birds chirping and a babbling river. In the knowledge, your weekend ahead is filled with exploring the fells, dipping in cold water and foraging for natural materials you'll use to create your very own flower crown - ready to wear to a Midsummer Feast on the Saturday evening. 


Every adventure girl knows that the opportunities to dress ‘up’ are rare these days, so we encourage you to bring your best ‘festival’ outfit and join us as we dine beside the fire and under the stars. 

Throw in a Summer Mindfulness workshop, more opportunities to wild dip in the waters & rivers of the Lake District, plus a summer dance workshop - and you’ve got yourself a weekend which will be one of the highlights of your summer. Did we mention flower crowns and goody bags for every girl who joins us? 


 Mel & Meg understand the yearning for the outdoors, away from the hustle and bustle of the working week, because we've been there too... 


Our Midsummer Retreat is designed for adventurous millennial women like you, seeking a break from the ordinary and to dive headfirst into a weekend spent outdoors, celebrating the magic of midsummer.

See you in the mountains.
