What’s on at The Walnut Barn
Each season we host a select number of residential creative retreats, designed to give you time and space to slow down and connect with the simple rhythms of French country life. Our retreats are designed for small, intimate groups of 6–10 people over 5–7 days. We work with our visiting tutors to design retreats that strike exactly the right balance between learning, exploring, and relaxing.
