WHAT TO EXPECT
By popular demand the Dingbats Improv Retreat is back for it's third year! We can't wait for another full weekend of improv fun!
If you love improv and the great outdoors, then you're in for a treat. The Dingbats Improv retreat is going to be a weekend full of all things improv; including workshops during the day, jams and shows in the evening, and relaxing around the campfire.
Dingbats Improv has always strived to create a fun, supportive environment at all our events, and this retreat is no different. It will not only be a great opportunity to learn about and enjoy improv, but a chance to escape, relax and get to know other like-minded improvisers in a friendly environment.
We have hired an entire glamping site in East Sussex for the improv retreat. However, we won't just be improvising in a field like a bunch of cows. If the summer decides to end prematurely, you can enjoy the workshops, shows, and meal times in our marquees.
This event is open to anyone (aged 18+), not just Dingbats regulars! It will be a chance to get to know other brilliant improvisers, learn something new, and have a weekend to remember. No previous improv experience necessary.
WHERE
The Dingbats Improv Retreat will be at a glamping site in East Sussex 15 minutes outside of Tunbridge Wells.
