Retreat Venue Between Cumbria & The Yorkshire Dales

Wellbeing, Yoga, Creative and Outdoor Adventure Retreats

St Marks Stays is a Group Accommodation and Retreat Venue located between Cumbria and The Yorkshire Dales. Here is a list of wellbeing, yoga, creative and outdoor adventure retreats taking place here.

Retreats give you the chance to try things out, connect to like minded people, have time out from busy lives and learn new skills to improve your lifestyle when you return home.

We are so thrilled that so many reteat organisers choose St Marks Stays as a safe and welcoming place to hold their retreats. We have created a listing of them, so you can take a look to see what inspires you to come away to our gorgeous location within the county of Cumbria and the boundaries of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

They are run by other fabulous organisations, so the listings are here so you can contact them direct for further information, or to book places.
