WELCOME TO ARVON
Since 1968, Arvon has offered people time
and space to write. In beautiful countryside,
with expert tuition and the support of other
like-minded writers, you can feed your
imagination and let your stories flourish.
We welcome all: beginners, published writers,
schools and groups.
Totleigh Barton is a 16th-century manor house in one
of the most peaceful and beautiful parts of Devon.
Surrounded by farmland, its two miles from the village
of Sheepwash, with walks along the River Torridge nearby.
The Centre Directors will be your hosts in a relaxed and
friendly atmosphere. This is not a hotel it is your home
for a week. Youll find many quiet places to write in the
house and garden and a well-stocked library.
FOOD
All your food and drink supplies are provided,
except for alcohol, which can be delivered on
request early in the week from a local wine
merchant. Were firmly committed to buying
seasonally and locally produced goods.
Our menu reflects this. If you have any dietary
needs because of ethical, religious or medical
reasons, were happy to cater specifically for
you when you book, please let us know.
Every day, youll help yourself to breakfast and
lunch. Each evening, a different team of writers
takes turns to cook dinner. The recipes and
ingredients are provided, theres lots of help
at hand, and its a great way to get to know
your fellow writers (so fear not.) Cooking
teams also take a turn to do the washing-up.
