NEFS Residential Weekend
Fri 1st Dec, 5pm – Sun 3rd Dec, 11.30 am
Shepherds Dene Retreat Centre

After enjoying the December residential weekend last year, and with all the lovely feedback received, we have decided to repeat the event. We are delighted to be returning to Shepherds Dene Retreat Centre near Riding Mill in Northumberland and look forward to their wonderful hospitality.

This weekend will include our usual Saturday Workshop for Block 6, which will be on Saturday 2nd December 10.00 am – 5.00 pm. There will be three tune workshops and a session during the day, which will give us a chance to learn new tunes, work on the relevant techniques, and play some of our NEFS tunes together.

In addition, we will begin the weekend on Friday evening with dinner and an informal session, and there will be an option to book Bed & Breakfast, so you can stay over, ready for the workshop on Saturday. After the workshop on Saturday, they is the option to stay for dinner, and to join us for the evening which will include a session. The bar will be open to purchase drinks and there is again an option of bed and breakfast, so you can relax and enjoy the evening.

There will be more tunes and technique on the Sunday morning, and this year we will be finishing with coffee before we head home at 11.30 am.

Full information can be found on the NEFS Winter Residential 2023 page. Bookings are now open via the website shop. Various packages are available for both day guests and residential. Places are limited, so don’t delay!
