    You don't have to speak.

    You won't be judged.

    Some men just sit and listen.

    You can take this at your own pace.

    Step away from the day-to-day. Get outdoors, try something new, share good food and have real conversations with a group of men who just get it.

    What it costs

    Expected £1,200, £1,500 per person, based on a group of around 12 men. The exact price depends on final numbers and will be confirmed along with the dates. We also plan to make 1 to 2 spaces available for men who don't have the resources to pay the full cost.
