Residentials, Retreats & Holidays

Experience a North Yorks Art School education at Cober Hill

Creative Exploration Week

Join us for our next week of Creativity at Cober Hill.

Monday 17th - Friday 21st November 2025

North Yorks Art School are thrilled to be collaborating with Cober Hill on a series of new residencies led by artists and practitioners of quality and expertise. 

​

Cober Hill is a Victorian mansion, steeped in history and set in acres of stunning grounds. Nestled in the North York Moors National Park and just a stone’s throw from the heritage coast, Cober Hill has breathtaking views.

 

Built in 1890 by Sir Frank Lockwood, a barrister by profession and from 1885 Member of Parliament for York, the property was purchased by Arnold Rowntree, former Liberal Member of Parliament for York, and nephew of the chocolate manufacturer Joseph Rowntree, in March 1920.

​

North Yorks Art School are pleased to be working in partnership with Cober Hill to deliver a series of residencies, some of which are not available at any of our current venues. These residencies come with full board accommodation at Cober Hill, quality tuition and all materials and equipment needed to complete the course. 

 

There will be limited spaces available on each course that does not include accommodation, please contact us at info@bookaclass.org if you would like to enquire about attending the course without accommodation.
