About

Sing Eat Retreat was created by an event industry team who want to provide everyone with a passion for singing and performance the opportunity to spend a week with industry professionals developing their skills. The holidays are open to amateurs, postgrads and professionals and the weeks are curated to combine singing, performance lessons and workshops with stunning world location and great food.

One of the most unique elements of these holidays is the chance to workshop and perform with current working professionals from London’s West End Theatre and on many courses, you will also have the chance to masterclass with a celebrated theatre lead.

Many experiential holidays offer a goal, whether it is cycling to the finish line, climbing to the peak, or crafting a keepsake for yourself. At SER our goal can be a live public concert, a flashmob to an unsuspecting audience, or your part in a short film to proudly cherish.

You will see from our list of holidays many different themes to choose from, but the foundation of each week is the same; expert vocal tuition, performance guidance from in demand West End directors, and music rehearsals with leading Musical Directors.

Our team has its own goal and that is to ensure that whatever your ability you will leave an SER holiday a better singer.

An Amazing Experience
The week at SingEatRetreat far exceeded my expectations. The location was stunning, the villa was wonderful andthe food was to die for! The singing was fantastic and I learned so much! I loved the flash mob and the concert. The singing coaches were so knowledgeable and encouraging, I couldn’t help but improve. The support staff were wonderful too and made the stay all the more enjoyable. I can’t recommend this enough!

Sing Eat Retreat is the best holiday experience I have ever had.
The location alone was paradise. The food alone would have made the holiday outstanding. Any one of the three coaches would have been more than enough for an amazing musical transformation. All of the SER staff surpassed any kind of hospitality experience I have ever encountered.
This is the greatest retreat ever!

We are planning to return next year. We already have 4 more singing friends who want to join us. Looks like I’ll be hiring a minibus next time! Thank you for this wonderful concept.

I had a wonderful week, thank you. The villa and its location is very impressive. The food was fantastic and of course the singing was the best bit - just wish there was more of it! I’ll definitely do another and will be recommending you to everyone!
Being a tutor at Sing Eat Retreat was so exciting and was a completely unique experience for both tutors and guests. I loved watching the personal progression of each guest and helping them achieve a new level of confidence. It was so important to me that they felt comfortable and confident! All aspects of the week made the retreat come together, from the incredible food, stunning location, guests and tutors. I am looking forward for what’s to come!

Working on the Sing Eat Retreat was far beyond anything I had anticipated. To watch the singers grow in a matter of days into confident performers able to stand up in front of a crowd and sing their socks off was a remarkable experience. The warmth and support provided helped them develop, and the food and setting helped too!

The Situation

The choir wanted to give the group:

Fresh musical energy
Deeper expressive singing
Time to reconnect as an ensemble

What they didn’t want was a conventional choir course.

They were looking for something serious enough to develop musically — but uplifting and enjoyable at the same time.

The Retreat

Thirty-six singers travelled to southern Spain for a five-day Sing Eat Retreat.

Each day balanced focused musical work with time to relax, explore the landscape and enjoy being together outside the rehearsal room.

The musical programme was led by West End musical theatre professionals, working in close collaboration with the choir’s own leadership to support the choir’s artistic goals.

Together they explored:

Vocal technique
Expressive storytelling in music
Ensemble balance and blend
Performance confidence

There were also smaller sectional sessions and coaching, allowing singers to explore their voices in more depth.

Despite several hours of singing each day, the experience never felt heavy.

“We worked hard — really hard — but it never felt tiring.
It was energising.”

The Turning Point

The real change came midweek.

As the singers relaxed into the environment and coaching style, something shifted in the ensemble sound.

Voices became freer.
Phrases became more expressive.
The choir began singing with greater emotional connection.

“Suddenly we weren’t just singing the notes anymore —we were telling the story.”

The Final Performance

The retreat concluded with a relaxed public concert for locals.
There was confidence, connection and joy.

“It felt like we were singing together again.”

Impact of the Retreat

By the end of the week the Duffers & Gruffers Choir reported stronger vocal confidence, improved ensemble blend and a renewed musical energy. But the biggest change was emotional.

“It re-ignited the joy of singing.”

Since returning to the UK, the impact has continued. The choir has embraced more expressive repertoire, rehearsals feel more relaxed and energised, and members describe the group as “better and happier” — a powerful shift for a choir that had been together for more than two decades.

Several elements made the difference: collaborative musical leadership from the SER coaches, time together beyond the rehearsal room that strengthened the choir’s sense of community, and a carefully curated programme working towards a final performance that gave the week focus and momentum.

Could This Work for Your Choir?

Many choirs reach a point where they want to refresh their sound, reconnect as an ensemble, and give members a meaningful shared experience.

Sing Eat Retreat designs private, fully tailored retreats for UK choirs, supporting and enhancing the work choir directors already do. We collaborate closely with each ensemble to create a programme that fits its repertoire, goals and singers — whether classical or contemporary.

If you would like to explore what a retreat might look like for your choir, we would be delighted to talk.
