Chris Difford Songwriting Retreat

A decade of inspiring retreats

We are lucky to have been hosting Chris Difford and his songwriting retreats for over 12 years. A founding member of legendary rock band Squeeze, Chris is a Grammy nominated and double Ivor Novello Award winning lyricist, whose retreats are well known within the industry as one of the most inspirational and creative around.

In recent years we’ve hosted a multitude of successful songwriters from the legendary Beth Nielson Chapman, Graham Gouldman, Mark Nevin, and Tom Howe, to emerging artists like Yungblud, Victoria Canal and Sam Ryder.
