Our Singing Retreat this year in the Forest of Dean will run from Sunday 11th to Tuesday 13th August 2024. The earth will be warm and the season will be joyous, so come and sing, and bask in the glory of summer!
The Singing Retreat will be held at Oakraven Field Centre in Mitcheldean, next to the Wye Valley – an area of outstanding natural beauty. You can choose to stay in comfortable dormitory accommodation in shared rooms (shared with only one or two others) or camp with stunning views across the valley. Delicious home cooked meals will be provided from Sunday evening to Tuesday lunchtime. We can have camp fires under the stars at night or chill out in the huge lounge area with lots of comfy sofas.
You can arrive on Sunday any time after 5pm and enjoy the idyllic surroundings. Dinner will be served at 7pm. Over the weekend, there will be a glorious mix of four part harmony singing, ranging from uplifting Gospel, Shape note, contemporary, Folk, World and original compositions. Early morning yoga will be on offer for those who fancy some bodywork and invigorating stretches on the Saturday and Sunday morning. A Cabaret on Monday evening will be an opportunity to perform/share your talents. On the Tuesday morning, there will be a singing session in the morning followed by lunch and then the retreat finishes.
Bring your musical instruments for jamming and singing sessions in the evenings. The Singing Retreat in the Forest of Dean is a wonderful few days of singing, jamming, celebration and community in beautiful surroundings.
