Poppyfield Singer's Retreats

Immersive & collaborative weekend retreats

From Ellie (Organiser)

"I'm so glad you've found yourself on this page and I can't wait to meet you this summer!

The Poppyfield Retreats create a unique space for vocal exploration and development, with on-tap guidance and support, combined with an opportunity to connect with other vocalists and enjoy a weekend of singing in great company!"

1

Together we'll assess the voice that you brought with you!
What are it's strengths, what are it's struggles, what are your goals, and what tools do you need to reach them?
We'll look at your vocal pillars, and create your personalised vocal toolbox and skill ladder.

2

We spend the weekend singing together and developing your skills!
You'll spend all of your weekend with a vocal coach, giving you feedback, answering your questions, and helping you to create an actionable plan for your voice! (And plenty of singing your head off too!)

3

Leave with a thorough understanding of the voice you have, all of the new skills you've built, and a game plan for the voice that you want!
You'll also leave as part of a little community, after a weekend of working closely with other singers just like you!

Retreater Testimonial

"I was quite nervous before attending Poppyfield Singing Retreat for the first time last year, but the weekend exceeded all of my expectations. Ellie organised an incredible series of workshops, each one of them was so well thought out and engaging. My favourites included a workshop on singing in harmony, a really informative workshop on vocal health, and a songwriting workshop."

Retreater Testimonial

"The open mic nights were the real highlight for me. Each of us took turns performing songs that we loved in a really supportive and warm atmosphere. It was fun, relaxed and made a huge difference to my confidence. Our little group bonded over meals and shared moments that made me feel truly part of a community. I can't wait to go back again this year and see what Ellie has planned!"

your weekend getaway

The retreats are hosted on private land (we aren't a registered camp-site), and retreaters (& families and friends) can choose to stay on-site with the beautiful resident animals, and enjoy the peaceful Buckinghamshire countryside, completely free of charge.

You'll also have free access to the on-site facilities, including running water, electricity, and portable toilets & showers.

The retreats are self-catered, with meal ingredients provided for you, including everything a singer needs to design their 'Ideal Singer's Meal'. Of course, the BBQ will be fired up for you every evening, because a weekend getaway wouldn't be complete without it!
