Bath at Christmas
Our November retreat takes place just as the Bath Christmas Market opens, when the city transforms into one of the most magical winter destinations in the UK.
Wooden chalets fill the streets around Bath Abbey, lights glow across the historic buildings, and the air is filled with the warmth and excitement of the festive season.
This retreat will celebrate the beauty of Bath at Christmas, blending luxury knitting experiences with the atmosphere of the city in winter.
A Special Evening at the Roman Baths
One of the highlights of the retreat will be an unforgettable private evening at the Roman Baths, where you will experience this extraordinary historic site after hours.
During the evening you will enjoy a performance by the Bath Mummers, bringing the traditions and storytelling of the region to life in a wonderfully atmospheric setting.
Workshops
You will take part in two inspiring workshops during the retreat.
Carmen will lead a workshop exploring the creation of unique fabrics in knitting, helping you experiment with texture, stitch combinations, and ways to bring individuality to your projects.
We are also delighted to welcome Amanda Jones, who will teach a class focused on helping you achieve a better fit in your hand-knit garments. This session will guide you through understanding fit, making adjustments, and approaching your knitting with greater confidence so that your finished pieces feel as good as they look.
