SLOW DOWN DAYS October 2026


SLOW DOWN DAYS
Norfolk, UK
9–12 October 2026

A few days away from the usual pace of life.

Tucked between golden hills and the salt-washed coastline of North Norfolk, Barsham Barns is a calm, open, beautiful space to rest, move, and breathe.

This is a retreat for slowing down properly, breathing more slowly, and savouring the days and evenings.

The Great East Barn is light-filled, warm, and spacious, with room to stretch out and settle in. There’s a long table for shared meals, soft corners for reading or napping, a private garden, and a hot tub for fresh air and long soaks. Mornings feel softer. Evenings stretch out gently. Everything invites you to take your time.

What’s included

  • 3 nights in calm, comfortable ensuite rooms

  • Nourishing meals each day

  • Morning and afternoon yoga

  • One longer, slower workshop

  • Space for rest, self-practice, or doing nothing at all

  • Time outside, walks, big skies, and open air

  • Hot tub and cosy evenings

  • Optional but included in price: brewery visit, apple pie baking, and making our own signature cocktail

Everything is opt-in. There is no pressure here, just space.

The shape of the days
Slow mornings with movement and breath
Brunch and time outside
Long, unstructured afternoons to walk, read, nap, or simply be
Late afternoon yoga or workshop
Dinner together
Evenings that wind down gently, or early nights if that is what you need

Who it is for
If life feels full or noisy right now, this is for you.
You might like this if you enjoy yoga that is grounding, unforced, and adaptable to your body.
And if what you are really craving is space, fresh air, warm rooms, and a bit of quiet connection with others.

The vibe
No pressure
No packed schedule
No need to be good at yoga
Just good food, warm spaces, autumn light, and time to come back to yourself.
