We are returning to a sprawling 350 acre farm in the Scottish Borders, just 40 minutes drive South of Edinburgh. You’ll be sharing your weekend not just with fellow writers, but a whole menagerie of animals, such as pigs, horses, goats, donkeys and alpacas.
Dates: Thursday 4th March to Monday 8th March 2027 (4 nights)
Location: Airhouses at Airhouse, Oxton, Near Lauder, Scottish Borders, TD2 6PX, Scotland, UK. Attendees will be put up across a number of houses on the farm, from the main house to a number of Nordic Lodges.
Travel: Airhouses is tucked away in acres of peaceful farmland, but easy to reach by car, and well-connected by train and bus. The Cymera team stands ready to shuttle attendees to the venue from various public transport stops, and we will also arrange for lift shares and such.
