Looking for a new year weekend get-away? For something different, join this Well Now Cafe Weekend in the scenic market town of Church Stretton in Shropshire.

Our time together includes three discussion sessions with refreshments, Saturday lunch, and Sunday brunch. Participants will organise their own accommodation and meals outside of Saturday lunch and Sunday brunch.

The Well Now Cafe Weekend is for a small group, and our entry point will be whatever is live for the group around the theme of Food, Bodies, Stories. Our sessions will be based around facilitated discussion with options for creative activities.

The schedule is:

16th Friday        6pm – 8pm group meet

17th Saturday   9.30am – 12 noon group meet

17th Saturday   12 – 1.30pm lunch provided

17th Saturday   4pm – 6.30pm

18th Sunday     9.30am -11.30am brunch provided

This leaves ample time to socialise with others in the group, or reflect on your own, including at the various tea shops in town and at Carding Mill Valley National Trust (look out for the ponies), or on a hillside or woodland walk. There is also local opportunity for wild swimming if that’s your thing. Oh, and mountain bike trails if you can bring a bike.

As an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Church Stretton, and adjacent villages of All Stretton and Little Stretton, offer plenty of highly rated accommodation options from B&B guest houses through to airbnb, seasonal camp sites, and a bunk barn. A couple of miles away at Marshbrook, Mountain Edge Resort has affordable glamping pods  – and hot tubs. I live in Church Stretton and am also offering B&B to participants over the weekend/for an extended stay, please ask for details. The nearest larger towns and Shrewsbury and Ludlow.
