Burley Manor, the New Forest

2 nights away to read, relax and enjoy the spectacular and magical nature of the New Forest

6-8 MARCH 2026

The goal for our weekends is to provide maximum book time in a luxurious environment – whether you are planning to finish a series or reintroduce yourself to the joy of books - all our activities are optional and everything is designed to be enjoyed in moderation.

We also offer exclusive access to authors and their latest book releases!

Burley Manor Hotel

Cosy into spring with a fully catered, bookish, 48 hours at Burley Manor Hotel - just 2 hours from London. The hotel overlooks a serene deer park, and is a short stroll from the enchanting village of Burley with magical history and unique shops.

Enjoy walks through the forest and heathlands, our private reading lounge and 3 separate author events and interviews across the weekend.

We hope you can join: 6-8 March 2026
