What to Expect

Residential courses usually run from Monday evening to Friday morning. Bespoke educational, corporate, and group courses, retreats and weekend or day courses are all different, be sure to check every individual course details.

On a week-long residential course, you will arrive on Monday, between 3.00 pm and 5.30 pm, ahead of the evening meal at 6.30 pm, a brief health and safety talk will be given by one of our staff members during this time. You will be able to settle into your room and explore the house and grounds while the evening meal is prepared for you. Tŷ Newydd staff will be on hand to show newcomers around the house, and detailed information about your stay will be conveyed to you during a welcome speech from the Head of Tŷ Newydd.

On the Monday evening, after supper has been cleared away, you will head up to the library, where the tutors will outline the course structure and content, and you will have the opportunity to get to know your fellow writers for the week.

Every course is different, but in terms of usual structure, you will most likely spend the mornings in workshops, while the afternoons will be your time to reflect on what you have learnt, to write, and for one-to-one sessions with tutors. Evenings tend to be spent in the library, chatting about and reflecting upon the day’s progress.

Usually, on the Wednesday evening, a guest reader or speaker will join you for the evening meal before heading on up to the library to enjoy an evening of reading and discussion.

The final evening is usually the time when all writers will share the work they have produced throughout the week; always a night of entertainment and fun.

On your final morning, after breakfast, everyone leaves Tŷ Newydd by 10.00 am – hopefully full of fire and a new enthusiasm for their writing.
