Welcome to Art Holidays in Dorset

Dozens of specially created Location & Studio based Art Holidays with Professional Tutors

Welcome to Art Holidays in Dorset. We are ideally located just 5 minutes walk from Boscombe seafront and within 5 minutes drive of Bournemouth Town Centre. If you’re looking for a friendly welcome in comfortable surroundings then Art Holidays in Dorset is a good choice.

We hope that you are all keeping safe and would like to give you some information about alterations to course dates. The 2020 brochure and pictures on this web page are, as you would expect, pre-Covid-19. This means that most of the dates on the 2020 brochure have been rescheduled. Please look on our Hot News page for details of rescheduled courses and availability on those courses.

However some courses remain unaltered: Painting the Colours of Autumn with Jonathan Newey 12 – 15 October 2020 & All Winter Warmers from 24 October 2020 to 5 December 2020 inclusive.

Our studio and other areas are being altered to make every effort to keep our guests and tutors safe. We will post pictures to give you some idea of what to expect from the “New Normal” at Art Holidays in Dorset. We look forward very much to seeing you.

At Art Holidays in Dorset there is a house-party atmosphere where your art, enjoyment and comfort are of prime importance and nothing is too much trouble to ensure that you enjoy your Art Holiday in Dorset to the full. All abilities are welcome.

Miss F May 19

“Just a few lines to thank you for the great holiday again this year! We had inspiring tutors and wonderful days out painting. Brilliant meals and good company at a very homely hotel. I can’t wait to book from next year’s brochure.”

Mr P Apr 2019

“Yet again i’ve had a fantastic holiday. You made us feel so welcome and fed us so well. Big hug.”

Mrs C March 19

“Thank you so much for a most enjoyable art holiday. You did everything you possibly could to ensure we had everything we needed – so greatly appreciated.”

Mrs M April 2018

“Just to say how much I enjoyed my stay again. Two good courses, fun and instructive. Looking forward to next time!”

Mrs H July 2018

“I can’t remember when I felt so pampered and well looked after. I had never been away without my husband before and was really worried about whether I would enjoy the holiday but you put me at ease from the first day. I learned a lot from the tutor and having seen the programme for next year I will be booking up again soon.”

Mrs C April 2018

“Thank you so much for a lovely holiday. You made me feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The teaching was excellent as was the food. It was such a treat to be looked after so well.”

Mrs D May 2018

“Thanks very much for another excellent holiday! The list of enjoyments goes on – John’s cooking, inspiring and patient tuition, ferrying us everywhere, Magnums in the sunny courtyard garden – I’m counting the days until my September holiday.”

Miss M June 2018

“This was my tenth holiday with you and I have enjoyed each one more than the last. Painting on site then returning to the studio to paint while looking forward to yet another lovely dinner – perfect. Thank you yet again.”

Mr R July 2018
