Women's Weekend in Southampton

We are thrilled to announce our participation in the VieNess Women's Weekend in Southampton on Sunday March 3rd!
Organised by the wonderful Vie Portland, a long-time chamion of women's causes, the Women's Weekend is the perfect way to grab some much-needed me-time whilst still having fun.
"I know women are incredible, however, far too frequently, they can’t see that of themselves. With the pressures of society and the high expectations they put on themselves, they too often don’t realise how incredible they are.
A lot of my work is around helping women see how amazing they are and, for a quick, fun, relaxing burst, these weekends are ideal. If you feel like you want a weekend with girlfriends, or a weekend away from everyone you know, time for you to reconnect with who you truly are, need a boost to feel good about yourself, want to learn new skills in a friendly and supportive environment, these weekends are for you."
Taking place at the beautiful Chilworth Manor Hotel on the outskirts of Southampton, there'll be plenty of time to access the Chilworth Manor spa (count us in!). Spend the time in the hot tub, lounge on a recliner with a good book and a face mask, steam in the sauna, or book a treatment with the special 15% discount.
Also included in the price are the meals; the hotel does great food and are more than willing to adapt menus to suit dietary requirements.
