You could also make your own 'wood spirit' to pop into your garden, or have a go at laser engraving. Prices start at £5 per craft, paper making is £20 per person. Cash and card payments accepted, to be paid to the workshop leader. These sessions are drop-in and first come first served. Workshops will be hosted at the Stables Courtyard - whilst you're here, treat yourself to a coffee or refreshing ice cream from our new coffee pod.
