Natural wellness pioneer Weleda is hosting a long weekend of immersive, seasonal experiences at the beautiful Lapwing Barns in the Peak District.

With delicious organic food and blissful 90-minute treatments to rebalance body, mind and soul, this is an opportunity to completely reset, replenish and reconnect.

Lapwing Barns at Longnor, near Buxton in Derbyshire, is a beautiful farmhouse and barn conversion with generous bedrooms, wonderfully relaxed and comfortable communal spaces and picture-perfect views of the rolling countryside and sprawling national park.

‘Pure bliss’

‘If you’re looking for a weekend of pure bliss in the beautiful Peak District then this is the one for you’, enthused Women’s Health’s Jess Bantleman. ‘It’s a good balance of everything, with plenty of ‘me time’ peppered throughout to reflect and restore calm. So, if you’re looking to further understand your skin, your body, and nature cycles throughout the year at a slow pace, then you’ll love the Weleda retreat.’

Guests arrive 16.00-17.00 on Friday and depart relaxed and replenished after breakfast on Monday.
