For retreats, we usually set each of the five tents up on a twin basis with two single beds and a large sofa. If you have couples or close friends on your retreats we can also set them up as a double, or a double and two singles. We find the optimum number of guests for a retreat is 10-12 people.

Yes, when you book the whole site you are welcome to bring your own tents, caravans or campervans for an additional cost of £25 per night. We can accommodate up to a maximum of 30 people on site at any one time.

We can put up additional bell tents for people who prefer their own tent, at an additional cost of £50 per night, which includes a real bed, linen and accommodation. It is definitely worth reminding anyone who chooses this option that they will need to share a composting toilet and kitchen area with another tent.

If you head over to our Book A Stay page and click 'Book Now' you will see a calendar. On the bottom row is the Full Site Bookings line. If there is a phone symbol the date is still available so get in touch and let's chat. If the date is showing as red then I'm afraid that weekend is already booked.

The price for a three night stay is £2805, or two nights it's £1870. This is for exclusive use of the whole site including all five tents, indoor and outdoor cabin space and our gypsy caravan. If you would like to add on any catering or activities there is an additional cost for this.

Yes we can provide catering for you if you would like wood fired pizzas or a barbecue. Prices start at £15 depending on the menu options. We can also recommend retreat caterers in the area who specialise in providing excellent vegan and vegetarian retreat food, designed to nourish and delight your retreat guests. We supply all the crockery, cutlery and glassware, regardless of whether we are providing your catering or not.

Yes you are more than welcome to bring your own chefs, as we completely understand that food is a very integral part of the whole retreat experience. In our catering kitchen we have three gas hobs, plus two pizza ovens and a large Big Green Egg barbecue. There is a large cool box with lots of ice packs which we keep replenished for the duration of your retreat, plus two solar-powered electric sockets if you need to use a high power blender for juicing etc. Note that we don't have a regular oven or fridges, although can provide Dutch ovens and tripods for cooking outside over the campfire, and additional cool boxes if you need them.

Yes absolutely. Each tent has its own well-equipped kitchen cabin with everything you need to prepare and enjoy your own meals, including pots, pans, cutlery, crockery, gas hobs, a large cool box and washing up facilities. Many groups who run retreats here offer self-catering or flexible options for people to cook for themselves or eat together on certain evenings.

We are very happy to host retreat first-timers and will guide you through everything you need to think about to help your retreat run smoothly. This includes initial phone consultation, in-person site visit(s) plus a member of The Forge team available onsite with you for the duration of your retreat to help with anything you need.

We provide everything your guests need to relax and unwind, including bean bags, hammocks, cushions and blankets. We don't provide specific yoga equipment as we know that this can vary from group to group.

We have two large undercover spaces which you can use for indoor practice, socialising and eating. Each measures 4.8m x 7.2m. The indoor cabin has a large log burner which you are welcome to use and we will keep you well stocked with logs for the duration of your retreat.

Yes we can hire our space for a day or half day retreat, which includes use of our cabin, covered yoga space, hill fort and catering kitchen.  The 2024 prices are as follows:
Half day (4 hours) - £180 +VAT
Full day (8 hours) - £360 + VAT
Full day and evening (12 hours) - £540 + VAT

Half day (4 hours) - £180 +VAT

Full day (8 hours) - £360 + VAT

Full day and evening (12 hours) - £540 + VAT

There is a local bus station in Corwen which connects with the mainline train station in Wrexham. We are very happy to pick people up from here if you let us know in advance.

We are fully insured from an accommodation perspective and if you are booked to do any activities that are led by us (for example axe throwing or wild swimming). You would need your own insurance to cover any activities that you are running on site.

In the event that your retreat doesn’t go ahead we will do our very best to work with you to try and fill the dates with another group so that neither of us ends up out of pocket. Assuming that we can find someone else to book your dates then we would be happy to refund you your deposit, or move it to another date, and wouldn’t ask you to pay any of the remaining balance. We’d just ask for a £100 admin fee to help cover the costs of the extra work on our side to rearrange things.

But if we can’t find someone else to fill the dates you’ve booked then I’m afraid our cancellation policy would kick in which is listed below:

12 weeks’ notice or more – you only lose the 25% deposit

6 - 12 weeks’ notice – lose 25% deposit plus a further 25% of the total cost of your booking (50% of total cost of booking)

4 - 6 weeks’ notice – lose 75% of total cost of booking

Less than 4 weeks’ notice – lose 100% of total cost of booking

If you do think your retreat may not go ahead as planned, then it really helps us out if you can give us as much notice as possible so we can try and avoid having to use the cancellation policy.

You can call us directly on 01490 412972, drop us an email to info@theforgecorwen.co.uk, or complete our online booking enquiry form and we will get back to you within 24 hours.
