Friday March 6th – Sunday March 8th

A country house. Crackling fireplaces. Stacks of books. Champagne in the hot tube. Welcome to the most romantic weekend of your life — and no, you don’t need a duke to attend.

💌 The Vibe

Think: Bridgerton countryside escape. Morning coffee in oversized mugs.
Golden-hour walks across sweeping grounds. Reading in velvet armchairs while someone pours you another glass of wine.

This is our very first Saucy Reads Retreat — an intimate, founding edition weekend in the English countryside designed for readers who want to fully disappear into story, friendship, and softness.

📅 The Plan

Friday March 6th - Arrive late afternoon → dinner → cosy movie night

Saturday - Slow morning reading Countryside walks or hot tub dips. Private chef dinner in the evening

Sunday March 8th - Long, lazy breakfast. Farewell lunch. Depart early afternoon

🏡 The House

A breathtaking countryside home with:

• Multiple beautiful lounge rooms to read in
• Indoor swimming pool & hot tub
• Expansive grounds for walking and exploring
• Superking beds in every room
• ✨ Please note: rooms are shared — book with your book bestie for peak comfort and fun.

The nearby town of Weston Turville offers charming pubs, countryside walks, and that perfect English-village energy if you’d like to explore.

✨ What’s Included (All-Inclusive)

• 🍷 All food, drinks & alcohol for the entire weekend
• 👩🍳 A private chef preparing Saturday night’s dinner
• 🛍 A Saucy welcome bag, with lots of goodies! 
• 📚 £20 book credit at Saucy to choose your retreat read
• 🎬 Friday night movie, crafts, and other leisurely pursuits! 
• 📖 Dedicated reading time (no pressure, no programming overload)
• 🥂 Community, connection, and zero responsibilities

No cooking.
No cleaning.
No “what’s for dinner?” energy.

Just reading, resting, and romance.

💖 Why This Is Special

This is our first-ever retreat. A founding edition with a small, intimate group of romance readers hosted by Saucy founder, Sarah. 

The weekend is designed to feel like staying at a friend’s impossibly chic country house — if that friend also curated your reading list and stocked the fridge with prosecco! 

💸 Investment

£325 per person
All-inclusive, Friday evening through Sunday lunch.

This is intentionally priced as a founding Saucy weekend — intimate, luxurious, and accessible and made possible thanks to a Saucy customer who has generously let us use her home for the weekend. 

For context: most reading retreats begin at £1,000+ (often without alcohol, book credit, or chef experiences).
