After a very enjoyable knitting and crochet retreat in the Lake District in June 2025, and a delightful few days crafting with textile artist Sarah in Sedbergh, we are looking forward to our 2026 retreats
Join us for some time to be creative, explore the local fells and attractions, and relax in our home from home, where you will be served tasty homecooked meals and homemade cake.
'It was wonderful to create beautiful felting art work among a group of creative and inspiring people. There was lots of sharing idea generously by participants as well as tutors. St Mark's Stays was a fantastic location, facilities excellent and surrounded by the wild Cumbrian Fells. Lifted my heart each day as I drew back the curtains'
