Reset & Rewind: Elevate Your Craft at the Summer 2026 Songwriting Retreat
Are you ready to escape the noise of daily life and fully immerse yourself in your music?
This summer, the PRS Members’ Fund is proud to support our community through the Reset & Rewind Scheme. We are offering financial grants to help eligible PRS members attend an unforgettable, transformative songwriting retreat in the heart of the English countryside.
Whether you are a seasoned professional or looking to rebuild your creative confidence, this retreat offers the perfect sanctuary to focus entirely on your craft. It is specially funded to ensure it is accessible to members who otherwise couldn’t afford to attend.
The Venue: Historic Kentish Inspiration
The Summer 2026 Retreat takes place at a stunning 400-year-old converted farmhouse nestled in a historic village close to Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells.
- The Setting: Situated amongst the iconic hop fields and rolling hills of Kent, right along the tranquil River Medway.
- The Location: Just a short, stress-free train journey from London or Gatwick Airport—giving you rural isolation without the travel hassle.
Why Attend? The Benefits to Your Career
This is more than just a break; it is an investment in your artistic development. No matter your current level of experience, this retreat is designed to help you:
- immerse yourself in your writing without the distractions of everyday life
- have a great time in beautiful surroundings with like-minded people
- increase the quantity and the quality of songs you write at the retreat and afterwards
- increase your confidence as a songwriter
- increase your songwriter connections and co-writing network
- write at least one or two songs each day
- receive recordings of songs written
- get encouragement and valuable feedback on your current repertoire
- learn and/or practise the essential songwriting ‘tools ‘and ‘rules‘ (and work out when you can break them)
- have a transformational songwriting experience for less than the cost of holiday B&B/food alone.
The schedule perfectly balances hard work with country relaxation, featuring songcraft presentations, solo and co-writing briefs, songshares, open mics, country walks, and local village pubs.
Dates, Pricing & Exclusive PRS support
- Dates: 6 Days, starting 28th July 2026.
- All-Inclusive: The price covers all of your accommodation and food for the entire duration.
- Early Bird Offer: The retreat is currently available with a 10% discount at £599, so swift booking is highly recommended.
Funding Support from PRS Members’ Fund
Through the Reset & Rewind Scheme, we want to ensure financial barriers do not stand in the way of your creativity:
- £500 grant: The PRS Members’ Fund can cover £500 toward the cost for eligible members, meaning you only pay the remaining balance.
