Our current diary
Welcome to our diary of training, information, social and show events
We run a huge range of workshops, from cider making to no-dig gardening, from keeping chickens to making peg loom mats. These are small, friendly and informal and focus on smallholding, and countryside skills and crafts. Most workshops are exclusively bookable for members only. Memberships costs £20 per family to join, and we are a not for profit group.
Are you thinking there’s not much here right now?!
Yes, sorry – we’re aware that there’s not the usual range of courses, events and talks at the moment! But fear not – we’re still beavering away!
There’s a new website in the last stages of development with lots of really useful new features, and we’re trying to avoid adding next year’s events to this site to simplify the move to the new website.
Check back very soon, and we’ll have the new events up (hopefully in early December).
