So, given that we took £10 all day on Thursday, we've taken the decision to open straight through to Christmas (including Tuesday (23rd) this week, just to confuse you :-) )

So come in and get something special as a stocking filler.

We are again opening the Transhipment (not the shop) on Christmas Day and Boxing Day (Stephen's Day to the decerning), 11am until around 2pm.

This is for anyone who wants a break from family, for those who have none or can't be near and for everyone in-between. We'll also be offering free mince pies and mulled wine for as long as they last.

PLUS

Ian and Jo Douglas will be here, performing free storytelling and shadow shows:

12 noon Christmas Day
12 and 2pm Boxing Day/Stephen's Day

No need to book, but do wrap up, take your seat around the fire.

Whilst we're not offering this yet...we are running a willow basket making course.

Join Karina from Whittle and Weave to create your own small willow basket.
Working with willow sustainably harvested in the UK, learn some basic basketry techniques including a pairing weave, three rod wale and a trac border.

These small baskets are the ideal size for gathering berries - perfect for your next blackberry forage.

This course is designed for complete beginners and is a great introduction to basket weaving.

Just a little feedback about Karina:

"Showed great knowledge and very passionate about biodiversity, thoroughly engaging"
"Had a brilliant time, will definitely come again"
"Good laughs had by all whilst creating something I never thought I was capable of"
