If you’re booking (or considering booking) a retreat with us, this is an added layer of reassurance and one that reflects our commitment to running Olive & Plum responsibly, transparently and with care.

2025 has been a year of firsts for Olive and Plum. As we step into a new chapter, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the people, places and creative milestones that shaped our opening year. From packed art workshops across the UK to international retreats and conservation fundraising, it has been a year filled with learning, collaboration and friendship.
