Writing By The Sea
Mon 28 Jul 2025 to Sat 2 Aug 2025
This year’s theme: Writing Patterns. A mixture of writing workshops (led by published writers), focus groups, space to write, full-board, single ensuite rooms. Creative, fun, friendly.

Anna Chilvers and Ali Harper are thrilled to announce their next tutored writing retreat, to be held again at Cober Hill, five miles up the east coast from Scarborough.

Anna and Ali are both published novelists and have worked together on many retreats. They are passionate about enabling writers to express themselves creatively. The course includes workshops, [writing] exercise classes, seminars, writing time and the chance to recharge your creative batteries.

Check in is available from 3pm on Monday. The course starts at 5pm and includes full board and accommodation in single, or double, en-suite bedrooms.

This is the fifth time at Cober Hill - a beautiful place, within walking distance of the coastline and with gorgeous grounds, including a tennis court and croquet lawn. There are separate lounges for our exclusive use, in addition to the training room. The bedrooms are all single occupancy, with ensuite facilities and wifi. There are a limited number of double or larger rooms which cost slightly more. Please state when booking which type of room you would require. There is also a bar! Fully accessible and inclusive

Dates: Monday 28th July – Saturday 2nd August 2025
Location: Cober Hill, Cloughton, near Scarborough
Cost:  £790 for single, ensuite room, full board
