Wyldsong Retreats
Wyldsong Retreats
Meet the Wyldsong mentor for 2026.
Eliot Kennedy is a multi-award-winning songwriter and producer with decades at the very top of the industry. Straight-talking, generous and ego-free, Eliot brings rare real-world insight into what makes songs truly work, helping writers unlock ideas, sharpen craft and trust their instincts.
At Wyldsong Retreats, you’re guided by some of the most respected voices in the business. Straight-talking, generous and deeply invested in great songs, you get real-world experience, clarity and care into every session.
Around that guidance, we create the conditions for creativity to thrive. We step away from the digital world and let nature do some of the heavy lifting. Wild spaces. Running water. Clean air. Fewer distractions, more listening.
Creative spirits. People who care deeply about melody and words. You’ll write solo and together, share ideas freely, and almost certainly leave with lifelong friends.
This is how humans are meant to work together: curious, generous and present. Everyone wants to help. Everyone champions each other. There’s no ego in the room.
Alongside the writing, there’s real-world industry insight too — including live briefs from major labels, publishers and talent managers.
Wyldsong Retreats will return in 2027 with a program of getaways spanning late Spring through the Summer time.
We will be returning to Lanehead overlooking Coniston Water in the Lake District for our premium retreat offering, but we are also planning something new for 2027.
Camp Wyldsong will offer the same immersive deep-dive into the craft of songwriting with expert mentoring, but under canvas and at a more affordable price.
