Music Holiday Week in Dunster
The Yarn Market Hotel in Dunster, based within Exmoor National Park, hosts a 7 night holiday break on a full board basis with tutored workshops for singers and players of instruments by our regular choir leader Robyn Sevastos B.Mus, ARCM and conductor Mark Fitz-Gerald ARCM. The week has a programme of activities including walks, excursions, guests concerts, and an outdoor performance in Dunster’s historic market building on the Saturday. The break is very popular with regular repeat guests so places are limited. Whatever your ability you will be welcome to come and join in with our friendly guests for a week of fun and entertainment. Young persons are encouraged and there is a discount of 50% for under 20’s sharing a room with adults. Non residential places are also available to include the music element, activities and meals.
There are also a few non-residential places available for local residents.
