Event start date: 17/09/2026
Location: Court House Farm and Gardens. Church Road South, Portishead, Nr Bristol, BS20 6PU
As summer begins to mellow into autumn, there’s something rather special about spending a few days at Court House Farm.
The gardens are still full of colour, the evenings become a little cosier, and the Manor settles into a wonderfully peaceful rhythm. It’s the perfect time to step away from everyday life and give yourself the gift of uninterrupted creative time.
17–22 September 2026 | Textile Retreat with Matthew Harris
Following the success of his spring retreat, we’re delighted to welcome Matthew Harris back to Court House Farm for another inspiring six days of creativity, conversation and calm.
Whether you’re an experienced textile artist or looking to deepen your creative practice, this retreat offers the time and space to explore at your own pace.
A Court House Farm retreat is about so much more than the tuition.
It’s the delicious meals prepared by our wonderful chef, Kirsty. It’s long lunches in the garden, coffee and homemade cake, beautiful bedrooms, peaceful walks through the grounds and evenings spent chatting with like-minded people.
Many guests come on their own and leave with new friendships.
For those living locally, we also have non-residential places available from just £990 + VAT, including:
- Six days of expert tuition
- A delicious homemade lunch each day
- Morning and afternoon refreshments (and plenty of homemade cake!)
- Full access to the welcoming retreat atmosphere
If you’ve been promising yourself a little time away this autumn, we’d love to welcome you.
