The Story Behind Emlyn's Coppice: A Glamping Site with a Legacy

Celebrating a Creative Legacy

We often get asked about the name of our glamping site. Now that we're four years old, we love sharing the story behind it. There's a fun little misconception that comes up from time to time. As the actor and vocalist under the professional name Harrison Breeze, I should probably set the record straight!

A lot of you have assumed that I am the Emlyn in the Emlyn's Coppice name! However, Emlyn Williams was a famous playwright, director, and actor who once attended the school (now our home) that the glampsite sits on.

While I'm incredibly flattered by the comparison to such a legend, the truth is that our glamping site is named in his honour. Emlyn Williams was indeed a pupil at this very house when it was a school in the early 1900s. It was partly his time here that set him on a remarkable path. A teacher named Sarah Grace Cooke, working at Holywell County School, saw his talent for languages and took him under her wing. She would become the guiding force in his life, helping him secure a scholarship to Oxford and inspiring the character of Miss Moffat in his most famous semi-autobiographical play, The Corn Is Green.

By naming our glamping site after him, we hope to celebrate his incredible legacy. From his humble beginnings right here on these grounds to his success on the world stage, it's a reminder of the transformative power of education and the arts—a passion that I, too, share.

So, while I'm not the famous Emlyn Williams, I am a fellow creative who is proud to continue a connection to the arts in this special place. We hope that the spirit of inspiration, from his story to my own, makes your stay with us feel even more special.
