Books say: she did this because.
Life says: she did this.
Books are where things are explained to you;
life is where things aren't.

Harburn House is our favourite venue for intensive workshops with small groups. We get exclusive use of this wonderful old house set amid three thousands acres of woods, ponds, and fields. Mike creates incredible meals and Susie takes care of anything from an extra tea break to a trip into Edinburgh.
Thanks to Rozi Spurway, Harburn provides the background for all the wonderful photos that Ervin Šilić took for this website. Click on the photo for more information about Harburn.
I found Harburn through the best venue agent in the world: Sheila Hayles. Would you like her to find a venue for you? For FREE? Click here for Town and Country Conferences .
