This event is now in the past
The Quest Countryside Escape is a chance to leave the city behind to relax and reconnect with a fantastic group of gay men. Set in acres of woodland, gardens and rolling countryside, the Dunford House Estate in West Sussex will be our very own idyllic home for this long weekend escape.
The weekend will offer relaxing country walks, home cooked food, intimate conversations, invigorating group discussions, social activities, peace and quiet, fun and laughter. Check out our online album featuring some moments from the 2013 Retreat and 2014 Retreat.
As with previous retreats, we will explore in typical ‘Quest style’, where we find ourselves in our life – the trials and triumphs, the breakthroughs and breakdowns within the peace and tranquility of this wonderful countryside estate.
“While the retreat is quite different from the weekend workshop in many ways, even before you get off the coach it becomes very obvious that you’re at a Quest event, where extra special care has gone into creating an environment which encourages participants to build strong connections very quickly with each other. For me, that is very much part of the Quest magic and why I’ll be coming back in 2015” – Shaun
We have room for 34 gay men to join this wonderfully relaxing and connecting experience. This will be our third annual retreat and given the success of the previous two, we expect 2015 to sell out. Reserve your place today!
