The Watermill is taking its annual break until 20 August and when the friendly participants on our first tranche of creative courses have asked us where we will be spending our holiday, we’ve generally pointed to the walled garden, or the vine verandah, or the riverside terrace, or the millstream…
Other people may enjoy crowded beaches and bustling historical sites, but we like to holiday at home. So, we will be spending most of our break at the Watermill itself, with visiting friends and family.
And when we start up again the second part of our season, we love you to join us to find out what’s so special about the ambience of Watermill and its surroundings. And why, additionally, inspiring tuition, warm hospitality, delicious food and wine and the convivial company of like-minded people make our Watermill weeks a holiday to remember.
As well as offering a few places still available this year (see below), we are now taking bookings for 2023 and you can find out more about next year’s creative courses by going to the Preview page of the Watermill website. Just click here.
