Farncombe Estate is situated in the North of the Cotswolds just outside the picturesque village of Broadway. Set within 300-acres of privately owned parkland, we offer weekend leisure breaks, day courses and other events all year round.

Our course programme includes a very broad range of subjects - almost anything from Art to Zen.

On most weekends throughout the year, we host a range of short weekend courses (residential or non-residential), leisure breaks, day courses and other events for all interests ranging from Arts and Crafts to Music, Singing, History, Writing and Yoga. These leisure breaks are designed for adults, but accompanied younger students are also welcome.

We are situated in a stunning location on the North Cotswold hills overlooking the Vale of Evesham. The Estate covers 300 acres and has 53 ensuite well furnished bedrooms so our students can choose to book bed and breakfast if they wish.

Head of Lifelong Learning William Reddaway explains "The popularity and success of the centre has enabled us to develop this exciting new programme containing over 170 courses," commented Head of Lifelong Learning William Reddaway "We would love to welcome new people to try our wide range of courses, and of course welcome back old friends who have visited us many times before, but would like to try something different and enjoy a relaxing weekend break in the Cotswolds."

We hope that you will accept an open invitation to visit us. In our experience, most students enjoy coming back mainly because of the team here. The facilities and views are a bonus!

What's on offer
Our course programme has more courses than ever before - whatever else you enjoy, please do look at the General Interest section.

Our facilities continue to develop. The refurbishment of the dining room, bar and reception in Smallbrook is complete and we have just refurbished the bedrooms in Brook House. This includes improved wheelchair access to Smallbrook for both buildings.

If you are keen to attend a course, especially if you need accommodation, please do book early. You can book over the phone, by post or through the website. If you have any questions, ring us Monday to Friday 9.00 am to 5.30 pm. We look forward to welcoming you to Farncombe.
