Our events are aimed at hobby guitar players who want to learn new skills and increase their confidence within a group of other like-minded players. We provide a relaxed, supportive environment for you to focus on your guitar playing along with expert tuition. Our retreats are tailored to give the time you need to indulge your passion for playing the guitar without the usual distractions.
You simply relax, learn, practise and jam with other guitar enthusiasts. We offer weekend breaks plus 4 and 7 night retreats both in the UK and in Europe, in fantastic venues and inspirational locations. Non playing partners are always welcome and will find plenty to enjoy in the beautiful locations we use while their other halves indulge their favourite pastime.

Services
Guitar Retreats began life in 2008 as a fun weekend arranged for friends and colleagues who wanted to play the guitar but felt constricted by work, family life and lack of free time. So we hired a holiday home, all piled in with food and drink and we taught the group to play a few chosen songs together over the course of the weekend.
Choose your retreat from our range of locations, themes and different length events. Experience the rugged beauty of Cornwall with a short break to Tresco Island in the Isles of Scilly, or spend a weekend in the charming coastal town of Bude. Alternatively you could be playing your guitar surrounded by the beautiful valleys and mountains of Wales.
We pride ourselves on our choice of inspiring venues and stunning locations across the UK and in Europe. We only use places that offer something special and provide the sense of escapism and relaxation we require. We spend a lot of time and care searching to find the ideal venues for our events. Whether it be a seaside hotel, country house, a converted monastery in France or even an entire island!

I attended the Tresco retreat in March 2017. I was a relative beginner compared to some of the other people on the week but it doesn’t really matter. Stuart and Paul are so good at ensuring that ability level is nothing to worry about, just jump in ,enjoy and have a willingness to push yourself. A great experience topped off with the last night performance in the hotel. Highly recommended. Would love to do another one- a great confidence booster.
