Charlotte Church has announced the permanent closure of her £3million wellness retreat The Dreaming in Wales after five years, admitting the business will not be reopening.
Charlotte Church has announced the closure of her £3million wellness retreat after five years, admitting the business will not be reopening despite hopes it would only temporarily pause trading.
The singer, 40, launched The Dreaming in 2021 at Rhydoldog House in the Welsh countryside, but has now confirmed the project has reached its end.
Last month, Charlotte revealed the retreat would be taking a break, with the intention of allowing the site to rest while plans for its future were considered. However, a new statement shared on the business’s social media confirmed the closure would be permanent.
It read: “After five beautiful years, it is time to say goodbye to The Dreaming.
“When we last wrote to you, we shared our plans for The Dreaming to pause, to go fallow, to rest and make space for whatever might come next.
“At that time, we had hoped this would be a period of hibernation, rather than an ending.” The statement went on to explain that the team had since accepted that the retreat would not be returning.
“Sadly, we’ve come to realise that this is not simply a time of hibernation, but the end of our journey with The Dreaming. What a beautiful, wild and wonderful few years it has been,” it continued.
The message also paid tribute to the thousands of guests who had visited over the years, describing how they had come together to sing, dance, share meals, explore the woodland and take part in cold-water swimming.
“You have made The Dreaming what it is,” the statement added.
Charlotte opened the retreat at Rhydoldog House, a former home of fashion designer Laura Ashley, after purchasing the property for around £1.5million.
The project was a major personal investment for the star, who previously spoke about putting her own money into creating the wellness space.
Charlotte first shot to fame as a child singer in the 1990s and went on to build a substantial fortune through her music career and television work. At one point, she was reportedly worth around £25million.
However, she revealed in 2024 that her financial circumstances had changed considerably. “I am not a millionaire anymore,” she told Closer magazine at the time.
The star, who appeared on The Celebrity Traitors last year, had also sold her former mansion, The Spinney, in 2024, reportedly making close to £1million in profit following its renovation.
Despite the closure of The Dreaming, Charlotte’s statement looked back fondly on the community created during its five years, thanking everyone who had helped make the retreat what it was.
