🌿✨ Whittling, Wood-craft & Folklore ✨🌿

🔥Bushcraft with Huw is back this Summer 16th August 🔥

There is something deeply satisfying about sitting in the woods, taking a raw piece of branches, and turning it into something beautiful and functional with your own two hands.

🔨 We are so excited to welcome back the brilliant Huw for his annual Bushcraft Workshop! His sessions sell out completely every single year, and this August, he’s teaching the beautiful art of whistle making.

🌳Using local elder and cherrywood, you (and your kids!) will learn how to safely use knives and hand tools to carve, hollow, and decorate your own whistle. Along the way, Huw will share the fascinating folklore and mystical history surrounding these incredible ancient trees.

It’s the perfect experience to share,or a brilliant creative morning for adults who want to learn a new skill in a peaceful setting.

Note: We keep these groups tiny (max 8 people) so everyone gets proper guidance. The afternoon slot is already sold out
