About the event
Our folk retreat is back, 24th-27th August!
This year, the retreat will be led by two amazing musicians:
- Chris Avery, a Welsh guitarist, singer and composer known for his solo work and one half of the hugely successful Filkin's Drift
- Patrick Rimes, a musician, composer, arranger and conductor from North Wales known for his solo work and as a founder member of both Calan and VRï
Together they will lead a packed programme of workshops, from composition to small group playing, playing by ear to session tunes. The event is suitable for instrumentalists of any ability and no prior experience of folk music is necessary.
The natural world stirs emotions and inspires us, as does music. That’s why we think Skomer is the perfect place to blend the two with this retreat. You will have plenty of time to explore the island around the workshops.
This event is £345 plus an additional boat fee. It is suitable for 12+ (under-16s must be accompanied). To book, please call the booking office on 01656 724100, Mon-Thurs, 9am-12pm and 1pm-4pm once bookings open on Tuesday 1st December.
