Patrick Holford Retreats (residential events of 2 or more days)

We will notify you of this within a week of the end of the retreat.

All events are health education events only and do not aim to treat, prevent or cure any conditions, nor provide medical treatment or advice. We are not a medical organisation and the information and reports generated by us should not be interpreted as a substitute for a medical consultation. Nothing contained in the event should be construed as medical advice or diagnosis. It is your responsibility to determine, through obtaining appropriate medical advice, that you are fit and well and that such contents and services are suitable for you. It is not our responsibility to do so. Please seek advice from your doctor if you’re in any way concerned about your health, you are very overweight, before commencing any exercise regime, if you have an existing medical condition that could be affected by dieting, if you believe you have an eating disorder, or if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy. The events are not intended for those under the age of 18 or over 70 without consent from a parent, doctor or guardian.
Please note: we have to commit to venues, catering and material costs several weeks before events and the administration charge covers these commitments and the process of refunding. Refunds are made via credit card, cheque refunds can only be made, on request, in the UK.
