biddenden
october 9-11, 2027
We’ve had our eye on this magical venue for a while; and so when the opportunity came to host a cosy autumnal retreat here, we couldn’t resist.
Picture this: starting your day with an energising Yoga practise overlooking the pool; delighting in abundant, delicious meals shared around a big table prepared by my incredible partner Andy; strolling the surrounding land; making the most of the infrared sauna and outdoor pool; and getting cosy in the most creative, inviting space.
About Biddenden
Located in the picturesque Kent countryside, Biddenden is under an hour by train from London, but feels miles more.
The house sits in 28 acres of private land, an oasis of both peace and privacy. Parts of the house date back to around 1540, with the house being tastefully added to by owners Lysa + Peter since.
We fell in love with it’s mix of beautifully historic countryside charm, with quirky and tasteful bright colours that make the place feel so unique. We can’t wait to welcome our retreat family for a weekend of pure bliss.

Meet Your Hosts
My partner Andy and I met years ago living in Australia working in the world of hospitality. We immediately clicked through our shared love of the same passions: food, deep conversation, and connection. We’ve been on a journey the last 7 years of sharing these passions with the world and retreats brings everything we love together.
For the last few years, Andy has been Head Chef at ROVI - one of Ottolenghi’s flagship restaurants in Fitzrovia. Working with seasonal produce, Andy’s food is all about big flavours.
I might be biased, but his cooking is the best, and I’m honoured to have him co-host with me.
