Singing Holidays.

Small is beautiful
Small-group, sustainable singing holidays.
Exquisite experiences
Singing Holidays are exquisite and sustainable, small-group music holidays for people who love to sing. From choral holidays to our fabulous folk holidays with The Unthanks, Singing Holidays run cosy, multi-genre events throughout Europe and beyond.
Singing Holidays is your opportunity to sing in a stunning location, stay in beautiful accommodation, and truly connect with a culture through music and singing.
Small groups
We think it’s the little things in life that matter the most. So whether it’s our 5-night singing holidays or our 7-night singing retreats, we only ever take small groups. With a small group, we can eat in tiny, choice restaurants where Mamma still cooks the food and stay in cosy, exquisite nests that feel like home.
Cherish every opportunity
We want you to cherish every opportunity, from the incredibly talented professionals who teach you to the inspirational venues where you will perform.
Safe and nurturing
You’ll be able to thrive and blossom within a safe and nurturing environment. You’ll make new, close friendships and feel immediately at ease within a supportive atmosphere of like-minded people.
The little details
With a small group, we can create those little, memorable touches that can make all the difference and focus on you as an individual rather than just a face in the crowd.
Friendships
Singing Holidays is more than a holiday. It’s your opportunity to truly connect with the culture of your destination through music and singing and to be part of a small group of new, lifelong friends who just love to sing. Contact us for more details.

Got a question?
You don’t need to read music to come on a Singing Holiday.
On our choral holidays, we will supply you with online sound files, so you can learn your specific musical line. If you can read music, great – but it’s certainly not a prerequisite.
In many ways, not reading music can give you a certain advantage and on some of our holidays (folk, world, music theatre) our experts will teach you the music by ear when you arrive with only the lyrics as your guide.
Either way – sheet music or not – we’re always on hand to help you into shallower waters if you ever feel out of your depth.
We love to make cultural connections through music and singing. To that end, we sometimes collaborate with locals and professional musicians and perform together on the final evening.
You don’t really know a place, until you know the people, and nothing facilitates that connection better than singing.
The music we sing includes: classical (from renaissance to present day), folk, music theatre, world music and more besides.
Singing Holidays are very much bespoke experiences tailored to the group. Because our groups are small, we don’t generally choose the music until we know who’s coming and the distribution of voice types.
At Singing Holidays, our passion is to create a fantastic all-encompassing experience: great accommodation, wonderful locations, excellent food and plenty to do. Even if we took the ‘singing’ out of ‘Singing Holidays’, you’d still have a wonderful experience. If you want to bring your non-singing partner, they can join us. They will have all the same treats in store, minus the singing.
Singing Holidays include everything within the listed price except flights and any drinks we purchased on your behalf outside mealtimes. From pickup to drop-off, we’ll look after you so that you can enjoy your holiday fully.
