The Truro Wool Yarn Craft Retreat 2026

This three-day, two-night retreat is a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in the yarn craft you love – whether it’s knitting, crochet, weaving, spinning, or a bit of everything! Surrounded by fellow crafters who share your passion, you’ll be in the very best company.

Your friendly hosts, Julie and Liz, will be there to greet you, guide the weekend, and make sure you feel completely at home from the moment you arrive.

Each day unfolds in the hotel’s inviting lounge – think crackling fire, comfy sofas, and lots of cheerful chatter. For those eager to learn something new, a selection of optional workshops will run in a dedicated workshop space. In the evenings, unwind with fun, relaxed activities – or simply kick back and soak up the peaceful atmosphere.

As a guest, you’ll also have full access to the hotel’s fantastic leisure facilities, including the newly upgraded heated indoor pool, outdoor hot tub, and Aspen wood Finnish sauna – perfect for a little extra indulgence between projects.

Fancy trying something new or fine-tuning your skills?
Over the weekend, we’ll be offering a curated selection of optional workshops, taught by talented tutors. Full workshop details will be shared in Autumn 2025, along with session prices.

Please note that Workshops are optional and not included in the weekend package price – but we think you’ll love what we have planned!

With a restaurant celebrated for its outstanding food and first-class service, you’re in for a real treat all weekend long – so get ready to spoil your taste buds!

Each morning begins with a generous award-winning breakfast, freshly cooked to order. Choose from fresh fruit, juices, cereals, smoked fish, a continental selection, or go all-in with the full Cornish.

Lunches vary daily to keep things exciting, and each evening you’ll be treated to a beautifully prepared two-course dinner, showcasing the very best in local and seasonal ingredients.

To give you a flavour of what’s to come, we’ve included a sample menu below.

Dietary needs? No problem – just let us know at the time of booking, and we’ll ensure you’re well looked after.

Please note: Any refreshments outside of those stated (including all alcoholic drinks) can be conveniently charged to your room.

After a full day of yarn-filled joy, unwind in the comfort of your beautiful 4-star accommodation – because restful nights are just as important as relaxing days.

Choose between a Standard Room, with its classic charm and spacious feel, or opt for a Signature Room for a more modern touch – most of these rooms have garden or golf course views too.

Whichever room you choose, you’ll sink into a luxuriously comfy Hypnos bed, ensuring a peaceful night’s sleep. You’ll also enjoy thoughtful extras including a flat screen TV, tea and coffee making facilities, hairdryer, telephone, and little luxuries like bathrobes, slippers, a bottle of Cornish water, and premium spa toiletries.

Travelling with a furry friend? No problem — dog-friendly rooms are available too!

While your needles and hooks will keep you busy, there’s plenty more to enjoy at the Budock Vean Hotel between projects. All retreat guests have full access to the hotel’s beautiful facilities and tranquil grounds throughout the weekend.

Fancy a moment of calm? Take a soothing swim in the recently refurbished heated indoor pool, unwind in the Aspen wood Finnish sauna and outdoor hot tub, or enjoy a peaceful stroll through the gardens down to the hotel’s private waterfront. Feeling a little more energetic? There’s even tennis courts for a quick rally between rows!

For those looking to indulge further, the hotel also offers a stunning golf course, a luxurious spa, and kayak hire – available to book separately if you’d like to add a little extra adventure or pampering to your stay.
