Wentworth Writing Weekend

16th - 18th May 2025

These weekends are held at Wentworth Castle, now home to Northern College, a stately home in the beautiful South Yorkshire countryside. There are 60 acres of gardens on a gentle hillside with a folly castle at the top, a 1,500 acre deer park with Fallow Deer that look as though they have stepped out of a tapestry and gently grazing sheep that make a truly idyllic setting for a writing event. The facilities consist of single en-suite rooms clustered round the Arched Barn lecture room where we meet. The dining room is in the main building and has columns, a painted ceiling and looks out onto formal gardens and the deer park. The library is in the magnificent Gallery.

NAWG WRITING WEEKEND is a writers’ retreat which runs from 4pm Friday to Sunday afternoon. There is a 2 hour optional tutorial on Saturday and Sunday morning with a general theme suitable for all genres and levels of experience. Your time is your own and can be spent on your writing project, socialising with fellow writers and sauntering in the gardens. All meals, tea and coffee are included except for Friday night when we go for a pub meal. Cost for the weekend is approximately £250 per person.
