A magical journey
Each evening at The Big Family Retreat is a step deeper into the magical journey of unlocking the secret of the Magic Cauldron, culminating in the spectacular Forest Masquerade Ball. Together, we will embark on a storytelling adventure as the nights build up to the grand finale.
Our retreat is set in the charming village of Lawrenny, where the historic Lawrenny Castle once stood.
Nestled in the heart of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, this breathtaking location overlooks the tranquil waters of the Cleddau Estuary. Known as the "secret waterway," Lawrenny is a magical spot steeped in history, offering the perfect blend of natural beauty and timeless charm for your family adventure.
