Coastal Creativity: A Break by the Sea

This November, swap your screen time for sea time with a Creative Break at The Esplanade Hotel in Newquay. Whether you're a dabbler, daydreamer or full-blown creative, this two-night break is all about taking time out, switching off, and letting the coast do what it does best – inspire.

A Weekend to Get Creative

Running from Friday 7th to Sunday 9th November 2025, this laid-back coastal break is designed to bring out your creative side. You’ll stay just a stone’s throw from Fistral Beach, with everything you need under one roof - a sea-view base, delicious food at Cove Restaurant, and a line-up of exciting workshops with some of Cornwall’s most inspiring artists.

You’ll get stuck into a Wearable Waves Clothing Painting Workshop with local artist Gemma Lessinger, discover the calming art of seaweed printing with The Seaweed Institute, and explore the textures of needle felting with Araminta Greaves Fibreista. Whether you come with friends or on your own, you’ll be welcomed with open arms and leave feeling refreshed and reconnected.

What's Included

  • Two-night stay at The Esplanade Hotel
  • Breakfast in Cove Restaurant each morning
  • Three-course dinner each evening in Cove Restaurant
  • A warm welcome talk on Friday evening
  • Creative workshops with all materials included
  • A wellbeing lunch on Saturday
  • Full use of indoor pool and sauna
  • 10% off pre-booked spa treatments at our sister hotel, Fistral Spa (adults only)

Time Together with a Creative Twist

This isn’t just any weekend - it’s time to reset, recharge and make something beautiful. Between workshops, you’ll have time to enjoy the sea views, soak in the coastal calm, or head down to the beach and feel the sand between your toes.

After a day of creative play, retreat to your comfy room and let the sounds of the sea ease you into a peaceful night’s sleep.

Spaces Are Limited

This relaxed weekend is designed for a small group, so you'll have plenty of space to breathe, create and enjoy. Whether you’re flying solo or bringing a friend, it’s the perfect excuse to spend time doing something just for you.

Book your Creative Break now and let the coast awaken your imagination.
