Come along to Knit & Natter for a lovely 4-day and 3-night holiday break and relax with a carefully selected group of friendly and enthusiastic Knitters and Stitchers. Retreat into our warm and cosy Boutique Hotel, where you will be taught new skills by our visiting tutors, take trips down to the sea for inspiration and then explore a nearby wool spinning alpaca farm to purchase selected wools for your next creations. In the evenings, enjoy dining together with a private chef who can create a menu to suit your preferences. Your whole experience will be full of new friendship, and you will have learnt new skills whilst in the wonderful surroundings of Bournemouth. The Chocolate Box Boutique Hotel welcomes Knitters and Stitchers of all ages and skills, where we will match the right group of people to holiday together, to learn and improve your techniques, alongside our resident professional teachers and a selection of visiting tutors. Your holiday ends with a free membership into the Dorset Guild of Weavers, Spinners, and Dyers. We are passionate about our Knitting and Nattering experience holidays in Bournemouth and will be adding new courses in 2026 and 2027, which include: Quilting, Patchwork, Lace Making, Stitching, Crochet, Embroidery and Beading. — — — YOUR KNITTING HOLIDAY ITINERARY Monday 14:00 Afternoon arrivals and a welcome meeting for our new friends 16:00 Lounge meeting with your holiday host and teachers 17:00 Casual knitting, challenges and help from your tutor 19:30 Dining with Chef Janey 21:00 Knit and Natter in the Lounge with tutors Tuesday 09:00 Breakfast 10:00 Visit to The Crafty Knitter in Christchurch 13:00 Light lunch, knitting by the sea with a beautiful view 14:00 Knitting classes with tutor — improve your skills and learn new techniques 19:30 Dining with Chef Janey 21:00 Knit and Natter in the Lounge with tutors Wednesday 09:00 Breakfast 10:00 A visit to Jo Nash and her wool spinning farm and her Portland sheep 11:00 Knitting challenge on the coach to see Jo 16:00 Lecture and learning on the coach trip back to The Villa 17:00 Relax with friends and prepare for supper 19:30 Dining with Chef Janey 21:00 Knit and Natter in the Lounge with tutors Thursday 09:00 Breakfast 10:00 Lounge meeting with skills tutor 13:00 Light lunch at Compton Acres 15:00 Prize Giving and membership into the Dorset Guild of Weavers, Spinners, and Dyers 16:00 Farewells and all head home 17:00 Option to stay overnight on the Thursday — — — HOLIDAY RATES (four days and three nights) The price includes: accommodation at The Chocolate Box Boutique Hotel, all meals, tuition costs and excursions. • Single Luxury Room — £860 per person • Twin Luxury Room — £860 per person • Double Luxury Room — £860 per person Running from September — please get in touch to reserve your place.
