The cookery tent
BigRetreaters can look forward to being entertained (and fed) with mouth-watering concoctions in the cookery tent this year.
To balance out some of the ‘naughty-but-nice-go-on-just-one-more’ cookery, we also have nutrition talks and juicing workshops where you’ll get all the motivation and know-how you need to kick start a mini health and wellbeing revolution in your own kitchen! We even get the kids involved (yes, it IS possible…).
Oh yes, and there are Gin Workshops. Do we need to mention them? We do? OK, well our Big Retreaters couldn’t get enough of these classes last year so they’re back, larger than ever (the classes). They’re extremely popular, so get there on the double. You know where the gin goes, but at the Big Retreat you can also learn about where it comes from, the different types and how to make the perfect G&T. (Gin Workshops are included in the ticket price. All products used are extensively tested for quality control purposes.)

Our very own village pub landlord Steve runs the well stocked pop-up bar with local ales and ciders to refresh our thirsty Retreaters along side The Welsh Wind Distillery serving some very special Gin and Craft Ales this year
