Our Craft and Activity Retreats are an amazing escape at a beautiful location. Held at the stunning Boconnoc, which is situated just outside of Lostwithiel, our retreats really are an escape where you will spend your time crafting, relaxing and having fun. The house and grounds at Boconnoc are stunning and you will have time to explore the grounds at your own pace.
You will have the choice of coming to stay with us at Boconnoc, arriving at 4pm on day one, spending the whole day with us on day two and day three (leaving about 3pm). We will enjoy lots of crafting and social time, as well as having fantastic food supplied by the lovely Emma from Bellamama’s Deli in Lostwithiel. Or you can join us as a day guest, arriving at 9.30am and staying with us until 4.30pm, enjoying craft workshops and lunch, as well as plenty of cake and treats.
With either option we do all the planning, preparation and supplying of equipment, so that you can arrive and enjoy the whole experience. You will have a great selection of knowledgeable tutors to work with and your host Hayley (the Boo in LilyBoo) will be there throughout to ensure you have everything you need. Â
