RETREATS
Host Your Retreat Somewhere Truly Extraordinary
A private, eco retreat venue for hire in the Suffolk countryside, 90 minutes from London
Are you a yoga teacher, wellness coach, therapist, creative facilitator or corporate team leader looking for a venue that does the hard work for you? Somewhere your participants arrive and instantly exhale?
Coppins Farm is available to hire as a private retreat venue from May to September. We provide the space, the infrastructure and the setting. You bring your expertise, your programme and your people. Together, we create something genuinely special.
Set within 150 acres of protected Suffolk countryside on the edge of the Stour Valley, Coppins Farm isn't a hotel conference room dressed up as a retreat venue. It's the real thing: ancient woodland, wildflower meadows, birdsong, fresh air and the kind of stillness that city life makes you forget exists.
Why Retreat Leaders Choose Coppins Farm
The Venue Does Half the Work
The hardest part of running a retreat is finding a location that creates the right atmosphere the moment guests arrive. At Coppins Farm, the setting does that for you.
When your participants step out of their cars, they're met with open skies, the sound of a stream through ancient woodland and 150 acres of wildlife habitat stretching in every direction. There are no other guests, no passing traffic, no noise. Just space. The kind of space that makes people open up, slow down and engage fully with what you've brought them here for.
This is exclusive-use only. When you book Coppins Farm for your retreat, the entire venue is yours.
Why retreat leaders love it:
- Total privacy — exclusive use of the full site
- No corporate feel — 100% natural, immersive environment
- Flexible infrastructure that works around your programme, not the other way round
- Easy access from London and the wider East of England
- A team that understands retreats and is genuinely invested in making yours a success
- Low-impact, eco credentials that align with wellness and sustainability values
Spaces to Inspire Every Element of Your Programme
Coppins Farm gives you a range of distinct, beautiful spaces to work with, both indoor (canvas) and outdoor, so your day can flow naturally between activities, rest and connection.
The Giant Hat Tipis
Two soaring canvas tipis set within a wildflower meadow provide your main covered space. With a dramatic ceiling height, fairy lights overhead, woven matting underfoot and sides that can be fully opened to the meadow, these are genuinely beautiful places to teach, facilitate, present or gather. They seat up to 120 and hold up to 150 standing, large enough for a group retreat, intimate enough to feel personal. A wonderful atmosphere for morning and evening sessions.
The Woodland Ceremony Area
A natural amphitheatre in an ancient woodland, surrounded by oak, alder and hawthorn, with a babbling stream on three sides. This is your outdoor practice space, your meditation grove, your sound bath setting or simply the place where your group takes a quiet morning walk before the day begins. Rustic bench seating for up to 120. Birds provide the soundtrack; no playlist required.
The Meadow Glampsite
A private, off-grid glampsite with far-reaching views across the Suffolk countryside. Can be accessed by vintage Land Rover, this elevated space gives your participants a truly immersive overnight experience. Luxury bell tents with memory foam mattresses, eco shower and loo block, fire pit, campsite kitchen and Indian parasols are all included.
The Meadow & Woodland Paths
150 acres of wildlife reserve with tracks, footpaths and sunken lanes winding through wildflower meadow and ancient woodland. Perfect for guided nature walks, forest bathing sessions, mindful movement or simply giving your participants space to breathe between sessions.
The Venue
Spaces to Inspire Every Element of Your Programme
Coppins Farm is a natural fit for a wide range of retreat formats. Here are just some of the retreat types that thrive in this setting, though we're always open to creative conversations.
Yoga & Movement Retreats
The tipi space is ideal for vinyasa, yin, restorative or kundalini yoga, with enough room for a generous group and enough height for inversions. The woodland offers a serene setting for sunrise or sunset practice outdoors. We've hosted yoga retreats here before and the feedback is consistently the same: participants say it's the setting that makes the difference.
Mindfulness & Meditation Retreats
Few places offer the depth of quiet that Coppins Farm does. The woodland, the meadow, the sound of the stream, this is a genuine silence that supports deep meditation practice, breathwork, Vipassana-style programmes or mindfulness teacher training intensives.
Sound Healing & Cacao Ceremonies
The acoustics inside the tipis are warm and resonant. The woodland area, with its natural amphitheatre shape, is extraordinary for sound baths and ceremonial work. This is a venue that already feels sacred, it simply needs you to activate it.
Creative & Writing Retreats
Artists, writers and creative coaches find Coppins Farm endlessly inspiring. The natural world, the solitude, the change of environment, it's proven to unlock creative thinking. Whether you're running a writing intensive, an art retreat or a creative leadership programme, this is the kind of place where work genuinely gets done.
Wellbeing & Therapeutic Retreats
Therapists, counsellors and coaches running small-group therapeutic retreats find the intimacy and privacy of the site invaluable. The natural setting supports somatic work, trauma-informed practice, ACT and other therapeutic modalities beautifully.
Corporate Wellbeing & Team Away Days
More and more organisations are recognising that their teams need genuine restoration, not just a change of desk. Coppins Farm offers a credible, beautiful alternative to the hotel conference room, a setting where people actually disconnect, reconnect with each other and return to work meaningfully refreshed. Half-day, full-day and residential formats all work well here.
Nature Connection & Forest Bathing
With 150 acres of managed wildlife habitat and ancient woodland, Coppins Farm is a rare resource for nature-based practitioners. Shinrin-yoku (forest bathing), wild swimming trips from the site, wildlife tracking, foraging walks, the natural infrastructure is all here.
Spiritual & Holistic Retreats
From shamanic journeying to Reiki practitioner training, the ancient woodland and wild landscape of Coppins Farm carry a quality that holistic retreat leaders consistently describe as powerful. This is a place with a genuine sense of presence.
Glamping for Retreat Participants
