As one of the UK's most impressive areas of natural beauty, the Peak District National Park makes the perfect location for this four-night drawing break aimed at beginners.
This arty holiday is specifically designed for those wanting to take up drawing as a hobby. You'll have three days of workshops with expert tutor Alison Carr, an artist with experience in a range of mediums, who'll help you capture the beauty of the Peak District in your drawing.
Not only will Alison introduce you to the basics of shape, form, and texture, but she'll increase your confidence and help you to make noticeable progress over the three days of workshops.
You'll be staying at the wonderful Peveril of the Peak District, a country house in the tiny village of Thorpe, where you'll be surrounded by idyllic countryside and where all your meals will be included throughout the trip.

You may want to spend the rest of the afternoon exploring your surroundings. There are plenty of big-name attractions nearby, most famously the Twelve Apostles, best viewed from the limestone promontory known as Lover's Leap. If you want to stretch your legs there's no shortage of walking routes in the area, especially around the Roaches and the impressive Stanage Edge.

Most tuition and practice will take place inside the house, but if the sun is out, you may head into the grounds to take advantage of some fresh air.
In the evenings, you can relax in the comfortable lounge and bar areas, socialise with other guests, or take part in a range of fun activities.
Enjoy a leisurely breakfast before checking out and making your way home.
