HearthSong Gathering

HearthSong is a heart-led gathering rooted in voice, warmth and belonging. A gentle opportunity to come home to ourselves and to each other. We will sing songs that move us, not for performance but for feeling, resonance & remembrance. For the places inside us that words can’t reach but sound can. We’ll share a communal lunch, each person bringing a dish to place on the table, a simple act of nourishment and community. There will be space to soften in the sauna, to awaken in the cold plunge (always optional), and to rest into a sound journey that carries us inward and together.

History & Heritage

Discover Coleshill

A chance to visit Coleshill and see many of the sites across the village, including the mill, secret underground base, model farm and the site of Coleshill House, many of which are not usually open to the public. Our replica WW2 secret base will open, where you can learn about the top-secret army that trained at Coleshill, and see how they would have fought and lived if an invasion had taken place. Coleshill's working water mill will also be open. If water levels permit the mill will be operating, offering a rare chance to see 18th century mill machinery carrying out its original function. Learn about how the power of water was harnessed to make flour and find out about the many milling phrases that have entered day-to-day use. The Heritage and Rural Skills exhibition will be open, highlighting the work being done to preserve endangered traditional and rural skills, discover more about the craftspeople who work from studios here today, and find out why it's so important to keep heritage skills alive. Tours of the site of Coleshill house, lost to fire in the 1950s, will be running. These tours offer a rare chance to see where the house once stood and to learn more about its history. There will also be a chance to hear more about our work to restore nature across the Buscot and Coleshill estate, including a guided walk and family activities.

Guided Tours: Secrets of Coleshill

There’s much more to Coleshill than meets the eye. Join a guided tour to find out more about Coleshill House, lost to fire in the 1950s, and discover the secret and sabotage-filled wartime training that took over much of the estate during the Second World War. You'll also see behind the scenes of the former Model Farm, now home to the National Trust Heritage and Rural Skills Centre. From fake castles and cunningly-camouflaged huts to a hi-tech Victorian farm, this tour reveals elements of Coleshill that you might walk past without noticing. This tour involves a walk of approximately 1km around Coleshill, including a steep hill. Guided tours of the Coleshill Home Farm and Skills Centre take place monthly from March to October. Tours last approximately 60 minutes, with a chance to look round our exhibition afterwards. Please collect your ticket from the Visitor Welcome point in the main carpark, at least 10 minutes before your tour starts. Free for National Trust members and under 5s, otherwise tickets cost £6 per adult and £3 per child (under 18).

Introduction to Blacksmithing: Make a candlestick

After that all important chat about safety you'll get straight to work, learning key blacksmithing techniques and then putting them into practice. By the end of the day as well as having learnt the fundamentals of blacksmithing, you’ll also have made a candlestick to take home with you. If you pick up the basics quickly you can progress to more complex decorative techniques, under the supervision of our master blacksmith. This course is suitable for beginners, no prior blacksmithing experience is needed. For those who already have experience with blacksmithing we run an intermediate course - see our events listings for details. Your tutor is David Gregory, an experienced master blacksmith whose work includes original commissions and a wide range of restoration projects. David also occasionally takes commissions for film and television productions. This course is limited to six participants to allow everyone plenty of time with the course tutor. This course will run on the 7th of March and the 3rd of September. There will be a break for lunch and a mess room to eat lunch in, alternatively there is an on-site café. Tea and coffee provided.
