Knit, rest, wander.
Repeat.
Three nights in the
heart of the Cotswolds
This is the retreat you've been promising yourself. Three nights at ARC Painswick - one of the most beautiful houses in the Cotswolds - entirely given over to the things that restore you.
Knitting, naturally. But also long breakfasts, slow mornings, a guided walk through the hills, yoga, a private chef, wine with dinner, and the particular magic of being around people who love the same things you do.
Roam & Wonder and Casual Knit Club have come together to create something that feels exactly right - an indulgent, unhurried few days with nowhere to be and nothing you have to do except exactly what you want.
ARC Painswick -
our favourite house
ARC Painswick is a beautifully designed townhouse right in the heart of Painswick village. Grade II-listed on the outside, completely extraordinary on the inside - it's the kind of house that makes you feel immediately at ease and quietly thrilled at the same time.
We'll have the house exclusively for the retreat. Gorgeous bedrooms, a pool, a fire pit in the courtyard, and all the space you need to spread out with your needles and not move for hours.
Everything you need,
nothing to organise
3 nights' accommodation
ARC Painswick, exclusively yours. Beautiful rooms, a pool, and a fire pit in the courtyard.
All meals
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner prepared by our private chef. Wine with dinner included.
Knitting sessions with Kate
Multiple guided sessions with Casual Knit Club's Kate - open to all abilities, no pressure, no judgement.
Guided Cotswolds walk
A guided walk through the hills and villages around Painswick, led by Hannah. Gentle pace, beautiful scenery.
Morning yoga
A gentle morning yoga session to ease into the day - open to complete beginners and experienced alike.
Welcome goodie bag
A carefully curated bag of knitting goodies and treats waiting in your room when you arrive.

The shape of
your days
A gentle outline - nothing is rigid, everything is relaxed. You set the pace.
Arrive, settle in, breathe
Check in from 3pm. Settle into your room, explore the house, find your spot. Welcome drinks and a first dinner together in the evening.
Walk, knit, feast
A slow breakfast, then a guided walk through the Cotswolds hills with Hannah. Back to the house for lunch, then the afternoon given over to knitting with Kate. Long dinner in the evening.
Yoga, knitting, more of everything good
Morning yoga to ease into the day. Another long knitting session with Kate. Pool time, fire pit, wine, conversation. Another brilliant dinner.
One last slow morning
A final relaxed breakfast together. Head home with a finished project (or a very good start) and a lot more besides.
