About Us

We’ve a new concept in our workshops, making us bespoke and unique. We invite you to join some of the best teachers for the highest level workshop experience with all accommodation & food/beverages, dinners on and off-site, coach trip & music all included in our inclusive package.

You will be staying within the beautiful Carr Head Hall Country Estate, a stone’s throw away from the ‘gateway to the Yorkshire Dales’ and home to ‘Rosemary Brushes’. Choose one of our NEW tailor-made packages to suit YOU.

Bronze Single, Bronze, Silver, Gold & Platinum. Whether you’re tying in a holiday for your non-painting partner and want to push the boat out, or your spouse paints too, you’ll be booking our Platinum experience or for the student watching their budget, Bronze - we get it!  Then there’s Silver & Gold to ponder over.

Our packages are quite simply the best there is to offer a student looking for a week full of learning with no drama. We’ve thought of everything ‘for you’. Getting here is ‘down to you’ and if you’re travelling from outside the UK, the minute you arrive at our local airport(s), train station or bus station, we offer ‘bolt-on’ choices whereby we will arrange a private hire driver or a taxi to collect you, taking the stress away from the last leg of your journey. 

We have a dedicated team to run through the process of booking and taking care of you and any questions you want to throw our way. We offer a payment plan, too, which helps spread the cost. We are offering just 16 places on our unique workshops and so please be quick to book as we know they will sell out early.  

Want to come a little earlier or leave a day later? We offer this, too, with our newly designed  ‘bolt-ons’ whereby we will try to accommodate you. Flying home and can’t carry everything? Yes, you guessed, there will be a ‘bolt-on’ to help you at very little extra cost, and of course, help getting you on your journey home.

You will begin your week with a tour of the gardens led by our head gardener. This will give you a taste of locations and vistas you may choose to paint, which includes Rosemary’s vast planting schemes of David Austin roses underplanted with an array of colours to please your eye in the beds and then along our archway together with a herbaceous border which is packed full of height and colour.
