Join like-minded guests on a small-group creative break, designed to help you improve your painting skills with expert tuition

Exmoor National Park sets the ideal scene for this creative short break, where you'll enjoy an introductory journey into acrylic painting alongside an experienced artistic tutor.

You'll spend three nights at Holnicote House in the village of Selworthy, close to Lynton, Lynmouth, and the beaches of Porlock and Minehead. With full-board accommodation, you can savour hearty breakfasts, packed lunches, and three-course evening meals, leaving you free to immerse yourself in your art. A welcoming cream tea on arrival offers the perfect moment to settle in and meet your fellow painters.

Across two days of workshops, you'll explore acrylic techniques, build confidence, and express your creativity with guidance from your expert tutor, focusing on landscapes and wildlife.

Set in an area celebrated for its walking routes, the moors may reveal red deer, Exmoor ponies, and a rich variety of birdlife. For independent exploring, the Discovery Point provides maps, route guides, and easy resources for self-guided walks.
