A stunning place, made for slowing down.
Tucked into a wooded valley beside the River Coquet in Northumberland, Brinkburn is surrounded by trees, flowing streams and quiet natural beauty. It’s the kind of place where your shoulders drop the moment you arrive.
There’s no experience needed, and nothing to prove. Our wellness days are for anyone who needs to exhale. Whether you practise Pilates every week or haven’t rolled out a mat in years, whether you’re coming with a friend or arriving on your own, you’ll meet a warm, welcoming group.
This is a day to nourish your mind, body and soul. To move, breathe, walk, eat well and simply be. No overnight stay, no packing, no rushing. Just one unhurried day to yourself, and a little of the calm you find here to carry home.
WHY A WELLNESS DAY
Reconnect with your body, your mind, and the world around you.
No screens, no rushing, nowhere else to be. Just a gentle day to reconnect with your body, your mind, and the world around you.
1.
Your body
Move gently through Pilates and stretch, and feel the tension of the week ease away.
2.
Your mind
Breathwork and quiet moments to settle a busy head and find real calm.
3.
Nature
A mindful walk through the estate and surroundings. Fresh air, slow steps, open sky.
4.
Good company
Unhurried time to share food and connect with warm, like-minded people.
The shape of the day.
Everything is included. All you need to do is arrive with comfortable clothing.
Everything's included: welcome refreshments, a plant-based seasonal lunch, all equipment, and a take-home wellbeing gift. Just wear comfortable clothing for the classes and a layer to ensure you stay warm during the relaxation sessions. A warm layer and appropriate footwear for the nature walk is also recommended.

Invest in your health.
A wellness day is a beautiful pause, but the real change comes from what you do next. Looking after yourself isn’t an indulgence; it’s the best investment you’ll ever make, and it compounds. Every class, every breath, every unhurried day away adds up to a stronger body and a calmer mind.
