The Fielding Programme is a series of retreats and mentored residencies for writers offered by Cove Park, Scotland's International Artist Residency Centre.

"This has been the most useful and productive, encouraging and generally all-round good thing I have ever done as an attempt-at-being-a-writer."

		Fielding Mentored offers a proven system of one to one support for writers with a project. Come for one week or two, at a time that suits you. Enjoy the solitude of Cove Park's spectacular setting and the company of other artists. Cove Park's resident writer, Polly Clark, works with you during your stay and gives your project the attention it needs. Fielding Retreats offers a range of deals and packages for writers and artists of all types to accommodate you for anything from two days to a month. Our Family Retreat weekend package means you can work without leaving your partner and children and our Group Retreat allows you to bring your writers or other group and take over Cove Park exclusively. Cove Park has professional studios available for visual artists to use on retreat.

The Fielding Programme is a not-for-profit venture, dedicated to Cove Park's charitable aims of achieving excellence in the arts. You will stay in Cove Park's spectacular surroundings, working in the same accommodation as many great writers and artists, including Margaret Atwood, Simon Starling and Christos Tsiolkas.
