Reading retreats are the must-try wellness break of 2025
Briefly

As reading continues to gain popularity, evidenced by the influence of celebrities and social media trends like BookTok, a recent survey reveals only half of UK adults read for pleasure. To address this, reading retreats are emerging as a popular solution, providing an environment free from distractions, where participants can relax, enjoy meals, and dedicate time to reading. These retreats cater to various demographics, fostering connection among diverse readers and giving them space to indulge in their literary passions.
"Between work, social media, and endless notifications, actually sitting down to read without interruption feels near impossible. A retreat is like hitting pause - giving yourself permission to just read without feeling guilty."
"The average age of our retreat guests are women in their 30s and 40s, but we've had a 19-year-old and a 75-year-old and they became best friends through their shared love of reading."
