This month we’re heading for the great outdoors as we celebrate all things Woodland Wonderland! We’ll be planting mini terrariums, creating hanging mobiles for your gardens, and making fairy doors for our woodland friends.

Help the Bristol and Bath area defend its title as the best region in Europe for people and nature by joining us in an epic contest: to discover and record as much wildlife as possible. Pick up a trail map from the Barn before heading to Monks Pool.

Join us for an early birdsong guided walk with naturalist Ed Drewitt followed by breakfast in the Barn grounds.

Come and learn the craft of wooden spoon carving. Spend the day with Jeffrey learning to carve a beautiful and functional wooden spoon. This fun and relaxed day long course includes a lovely lunch.

Join Rhyannan Hall to explore ancient natural dyeing processes by experimenting with four historical plant-based dyes before concocting your own colour potion.

Within our modern, deodorised age smell remains the most ephemeral and intangible of the senses. Scents evoke memories and stir emotions within us, but how else do they signify and give meaning?

Come and find out about the 180 year history of the constabulary in the historic county of Gloucestershire with Sue Webb. Sue is employed by the Constabulary as the force archivist with offices both in police HQ and at Gloucestershire Heritage Hub. 

Come and learn the historic craft of distaff spinning in this day long workshop which introduces you to the historic European method of spinning wool with a distaff and spindle.
