EVENTS
Creative Countryside events offer the opportunity to meet and connect with other like-minded creatives. You'll learn new things, feast on seasonal food, and take part in traditional rituals and ceremonies. The gatherings take place in beautiful locations in the UK, giving you the chance to really slow down and disconnect too, if you like.
