Friday
Check In, Chill Out & Cheers to Christmas
17:00 Check in. Step into your Cotswolds Christmas escape and settle into your stunning home for the weekend. Explore the house, pop on your slippers, and soak in the festive magic as your host welcome you with twinkling lights, cosy corners, and all the Christmas feels.
As the evening unfolds, we’ll gather in the grand dining room for a sumptuous two-course welcome dinner, lovingly prepared by our private chef. Think comforting, seasonal flavours and luxe vibes as we toast to the start of a magical weekend.
After dinner, the festivities continue with our own private mixologist, guiding you through a fun (and fabulously festive) Christmas cocktail & mocktail workshop. Shaking, stirring, and sipping- this is your chance to create your signature holiday drink and kick off the retreat in sparkling style.
Saturday
Slow Mornings & Soulful Moments
Ease into the day the Cotswolds way- slow, cosy, and completely stress-free. Wake up to the smell of fresh coffee and a leisurely continental breakfast lovingly prepared by our private chef. Whether you choose to sip your tea in the window seat, journal by the fire, or chat in your slippers with the girls, this morning is all about relaxing into the rhythm of the retreat.
Once you’re ready, we’ll gather for 90 minutes of pure “you” time, a calming blend of meditation, breathwork, and gentle yoga designed to ground, reset, and melt away the last of the outside world. No pressure, no rush-just space to reconnect, recharge, and feel completely present
Cotswold Wanders, Afternoon Tea and Christmas Creativity
After your slow and soulful morning, the afternoon is yours to soak up the charm of Painswick, a postcard-perfect Cotswold village known for its winding lanes, cosy cafés, charming pubs, and the iconic yew trees of St. Mary’s churchyard. Whether you’re window shopping, sipping something warm, or snapping photos of the fairytale streets, this is your time to wander and explore at your own pace.
We’ll then return to the house for a delicious homemade lunch before spending the afternoon at our expert-led wreath-making workshop. With a glass of prosecco in hand, you’ll create your own beautiful festive wreath using seasonal foliage and natural decorations- a magical keepsake to take home with you.
Afterwards, we return to the house to relax, pamper, and get ready for tonight’s festivities. Whether you're putting on something sparkly or just taking your time to unwind, the evening vibes are all about feeling your best and embracing the festivities to come.
We Got You Boo Christmas Party!
Returning for our third festive year, it's time for the We Got You Boo Christmas Party Night! We'll have a charming local bistro all to ourselves for an evening of delicious food, festive tunes and plenty of laughter. Get your sparkles on, grab a glass of prosecco and celebrate the season surrounded by an incredible group of women. Expect dancing, festive cheer and the kind of Christmas memories you'll be talking about long after the decorations come down.
Sunday
Easy Like a Sunday Morning
After a night of festive celebrations, wake up slowly and enjoy a delicious, cooked breakfast prepared by our chef. Then it's time to embrace the slower pace of the retreat- snuggle up for a Christmas film, find a cosy nook with a hot drink, chat with new friends or simply unwind and ease into the day at your own pace.
Countryside Strolls and Sunday Roast Goals
Lace up your boots and blow away the cobwebs with an optional walk across the stunning Cotswold countryside. Think gorgeous rolling landscapes, crisp winter air, good chats and that wonderful feeling of switching off from everyday life. Our host will be leading the walk, giving you the chance to stretch your legs and soak up the beauty of the Cotswolds together.
Afterwards, we'll head to a charming Cotswold country pub for a delicious Sunday lunch. Settle in, soak up the cosy festive atmosphere and enjoy great food, great company and everything that makes this time of year so special. It's the kind of winter afternoon that feels like it's been lifted straight from your favourite Christmas film.
Christmas Book Swap, Farewell Feast & Nostalgic Games Night
- The Perfect Festive Final
Back at the house, the afternoon is yours to enjoy. Curl up with a Christmas film, pour yourself a hot drink, settle into your favourite cosy corner or spend time chatting with the boos.
One of our favourite We Got You Boo Christmas traditions is our festive book swap. Simply bring along a wrapped copy of one of your favourite reads, along with a little note sharing why you loved it or who you think would enjoy it most. Then it's time to swap, unwrap and discover your next great read to enjoy long after the retreat ends.
As night falls, we’ll gather for our final dinner, the perfect setting to share stories, laughter, and memories made over the weekend. Following dinner, get ready for an evening filled with nostalgic games, cosy hot chocolates, and a festive movie to wrap up the retreat with all the heart and warmth you deserve.
Monday
Check out 09:30- Wake up on your final morning feeling refreshed, cozy, and full of Christmas cheer, with a heart warmed by new friends and magical memories.
