Rooms are in the courtyard mews (upgrade/supplements available). At the end of each day relax with new friends and get a glass of Beaujolais in the Marble Lounge.

As part of the course you’ll start the day with a petit dejeuner that reflects the Parisian lifestyle of the era, in the original stables. For lunch and dinner, you will find a tempting new menu each day, with seasonal hot dishes, salads and a range of puddings. Locally sourced ingredients are used where possible including produce from Chilston Park itself.

There will also be plenty of contemporary art pieces, sculptures and historic art throughout the hotel and grounds to admire and take inspiration from during your stay.

By the end of the course, you will understand how to draw the essence of the human body with more freedom, confidence, accuracy and joy.
