The Cambridge Writing Retreat Podcast features interviews with writers who share their thoughts on what inspires them, how they write, and the ups and downs of a writing life. In our first series, 30 Poets, we present a different poem each day - read by the poet themselves - for 30 days throughout June 2020.
The Cambridge Writing Retreat is a beautiful space for writers to progress their work and be inspired. We welcome people at all stages of their creative journey and our goal is to nurture writers in a peaceful, calm and inspiring environment. We offer residential and say writing retreats in our beautiful, self-contained, Shepherd’s Hut and Bothy. We also run tutored fiction, life writing and poetry courses, amongst others.
