Friday 4th July - Sunday 6th July 2025
Visit the Chilterns for a weekend of total harp immersion with friendly tutors, delicious meals, inspiring concerts and peaceful surroundings. Now in it's 12th year, the adult harp retreat is open to pedal and non pedal harpists of all abilities and takes place at the Peacock Country Inn, nestled in the foot of the Chiltern Hills, in Henton near Thame. Keziah Thomas and Heather Downie lead classes and workshops which concentrate on ensemble playing, improvisation and performance. As well as working in groups divided by ability, there is also a concert from the tutors, a musical party and plenty of time for private practise...or socialising!
