Ink & Ember's Ultimate Bookish Retreat -The Golden Hour August Edition

THE BOOKISH RETREAT: THE GOLDEN HOUR EDITION 7-9th August

📖✨ Introducing The Bookish Retreat: The Golden Hour Edition — and she is something truly special.

If you've ever wished someone would just create the most indulgent, beautifully curated summer reading escape imaginable... we've gone and done it.

A long weekend of pure, unapologetic indulgence.

Not just a retreat. An experience. Two nights of total immersion, in beautiful surroundings, delicious food, and the glorious luxury of having nowhere to be but here, with your books and the last of the summer sun.

This is the reading weekend you've been waiting for someone to create. We went and did it.

The Setting — Molecey Mill & Estates

Set in the breathtaking grounds of Molecey Mill & Estates. A Grade II listed historic property with origins before the Domesday Book. In August, this estate is nothing short of magical — golden light flooding through original oak beams, the gentle sound of the mill stream outside your window, and grounds made for long, lazy summer afternoons. Plus a hot tub, beautiful gardens, and a dedicated yoga studio on site.

Think: if M&S did summer reading retreats. That's the vibe.

📅 August — dates coming soon

Here's what's waiting for you:

🧘 Morning yoga Saturday and Sunday hosted by the wonderful La Luna Yoga

🔔 A deeply restorative sound bath on Friday evening with Jen Loves Zen

The Weekend

Friday — Arrive and settle in (there's free parking on-site). Explore the estate, soak up the surroundings, and find your favourite sunny corner. Then ease into the weekend with an evening of book bedazzling, followed by a deeply restorative sound bath with the wonderful Jen Loves Zen.

Saturday — Begin with morning yoga hosted by Adriana from LaLuna Yoga, before long, glorious, unhurried hours of reading. Saturday afternoon brings a proper afternoon tea, followed by a pressed flower bookmark making session and other bookish crafting if you'd like (it's all optional). Round off the day with a summer reads book swap and movie night — wine, snacks, and the perfect film.

Sunday — Another gentle morning yoga session with Adriana, then more beautiful, guilt-free reading time before you depart restored, sun-kissed, with new memories, new reads, and new friends.
