Retreats & Workshops
If you’re seeking a beautiful, restorative and adaptable place to host your next wellness retreat or creative workshop, Penpont offers a warm, flexible and characterful setting in the heart of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park.
With a long history of hosting yoga, wellbeing and creative retreats, we love supporting teachers and facilitators in bringing their ideas to life. Whether you’re planning a week-long retreat, a midweek workshop series, a winter wellbeing break, or something entirely your own, Penpont offers a unique and characterful setting immersed by the sights and sounds of nature.
The Stables
The Stables is a warm and welcoming space, sensitively converted using natural building materials and winner of Historic Houses Sustainability Award in 2022. Its multiple rooms of varying sizes are adaptable and easy to shape into what you need.
The Hayloft
Two rooms upstairs in The Stables with original vaulted ceilings. The larger room at XSQM hosts up to 16 people for yoga practice and up to 80 in theatre style. The smaller of the two rooms at X SQM is more suited for smaller meetings and workshops.
The Dining Room
A large dining room space, crafted from the old horse stalls. Situated on the ground floor of the stables, it seats 80 people in total, but the layout also suits smaller groups. Adjoining professional kitchen which can be hired alongside the room.
L-Shaped Room
A cosy tavern-like space on the ground floor, adjoining the pub leading onto the Courtyard. Complete with tables and chairs, characterful interiors and a hearty wood-burning stove for cosy winter workshops and breakout room for meal times.
Accommodation
In the heart of the estate, The Courtyard Wing, sleeps 14 people in individual double and single beds across 6 bedrooms. Our riverside campsite can hold up to 35 people in relaxed wild camping, offering a more affordable option for participants.
From riverside spots to ancient woodland paths, quiet corners in the gardens and our infamous Greenman maze, there’s space for people to step out, reflect, walk, sit, breathe and connect with nature.
Gardens
The Pub
The Punch & Judy pub is a friendly community space, serving local ales, wine and cocktails. It can be hired as part of a retreat and through the summer months we open the bar on Saturday afternoons. We host special monthly music and food events.
Sauna
Situated on the banks of the river, our wood-fired sauna is crafted from timber harvested from our woodlands and processed on site. The sauna seats up to 8 people, it can be hired privately for a group or we run regular communal sessions. For more information visit our sauna page.
Catering
Where catering is concerned we offer complete flexibility. Cook for yourselves, bring a chef with you, or we can recommend several local trusted catering companies. You can hire our professional kitchen, or for smaller residential groups, use the kitchen in The Courtyard Wing. Depending on the menu decided and the season, we can also provide a range of organic vegetables from our Walled Garden.
“I run yoga and mindfulness retreats at Penpont and I can honestly say it’s one of the most magical places. The Stables are light, spacious and tranquil for indoor yoga and meditation. Our participants love exploring the beautiful grounds, the Greenman maze, and in the summer, taking a dip in the stunning River Usk.”
