**Special Offer** At our Week of Creativity, inspiration is even better when shared. Gather your creative circle and enjoy a special offer designed for small groups. Book your place for £845, and invite up to two friends to join you at a reduced rate of £665 each when sharing a room together. Whether you come as a pair or a trio, it’s the perfect chance to create, connect, and unwind together in a truly inspiring setting. Join us for a week of creative exploration at the restful and lovely Cober Hill just outside Scarborough, North Yorkshire. This relaxing four-night, full board residential is designed to give you the perfect balance of gentle structure and freedom, with each day featuring two inspiring workshops. Every morning and afternoon you will enjoy a fresh new class from our fantastic line-up of tutors. This is your chance to try exciting new techniques or develop skills you may have picked up previously. Think of them as tasters or refreshers. The week offers a rich variety of disciplines, so you can dip your toes into something completely new or deepen your confidence in a favourite medium. You’ll enjoy workshops in: - Linocut Stamp Making with Darya Savonina - Watercolour with Andrew Storrie - Mixed Media with Molly Newham - Oil Painting with Garth Bayley - Pastel Drawing with Jeremy Ford - Transpositional Drawing with Christopher Shaw In addition, you can choose to join our optional evening sessions starting at 7.30pm including: Tuesday - Walk & Sketch with Colin Wednesday - Art History with Linda Thursday - Art Quiz with Dave There will also be relaxed evening movie nights or you may just choose to unwind in the lounge or patio area with a drink. The choice is yours. On Friday morning, after breakfast, you’ll have the opportunity to come together with the group to share and celebrate the work you’ve created during the week. Then it's home time, hopefully bursting with ideas and fond memories of friends made. All materials and equipment are provided for every session – so you only need to bring your enthusiasm and essentials for a wonderful week away. Check-in from 3pm Monday 13th July 2026 Check-out by 10.30am Friday 17th July 2026 Workshops will take place 9.30am - 12pm and 2pm-4.30pm Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
