We have been full on this autumn with so many fun, creative and exciting events happening at Kingshill House, it has been fantastic to see the House so alive with activity from the community.  
The courses have been packed with students learning watercolours, oil painting (which is new!), stained glass, flower arranging, loom weaving (also new!) and of course we’ve had our wonderful Mindful Scrap Crafting with Anna of Peace and Craft, which has been lovely to see flourish.   

Our programme of weekly classes has grown and grown with Beginners Yoga with Claire on a Monday morning, three sessions of yoga with Vicky Bird, aka The Yoga Bird, on a Wednesday, including parent and baby yoga. Then we have a beautifully gentle relaxation yoga for mothers on a Wednesday evening with Mischa from Let Go Yoga, and of course two nourishing flowing yoga classes from Sarah of Elm Tree Yoga on a Thursday evening. We are absolutely loving all the yoga that happens here! Plus our resident Taijiqun and Qigong instructor Joe teaches on Tuesdays and Wednesday evenings, plus a Qigong & Meditation on a Thursday morning. These classes are for anyone to try, and there is no experience necessary, so they really are a marvellous way to refocus the mind and maintain healthy well-being. Plus you can meet new friends and enjoy activity with like-minded people.   ​

​Finding the perfect space for your business can be difficult. But don't worry, we've got you covered! Read on to discover our top tips for finding the right place for your business.

Before you start looking at properties, make sure you have an idea of what you're looking for. You'll need to consider things like square footage, number of rooms, parking availability, and how many team members you wish to fit into the space. At Kingshill House we have a variety of spaces from empty rooms with not much more than a cupboard in them, to rooms with tables, chairs and refreshment stations. Either way, you should consider if you are looking for a short-term rental agreement or perhaps something longer-term where you may wish to budget in converting the space for your business needs. ​

You'll also need to consider the local amenities available to you and your team. Are there any shops, restaurants, cafes, gyms, parks, schools, or other facilities that you'd like to be near? These things can make a big difference when it comes to choosing where to open your business. Dursley has an abundance of great things to keep you busy, including the Old Spot at the bottom of Stinchcombe Hill which was named CAMRA pub of the year in 2007, CYT gym with plenty of fitness classes to keep you going, and just down the road is the Slimbridge Wetlands centre both fun for bird watchers and those who love to splash in puddles! (if you know you know). Kingshill House hosts creative workshops, events, courses and activities for all ages and abilities. We also have a generous health and well-being programme which includes yoga, qigong, maternal journal, mindful scrapcrafting, taijiquan, sound baths and many more. There is also something to do and plenty to keep you busy in Dursley.
