Workshops
Our workshop programme brings you a wide range of crafts to inspire your creativity. The workshops are suitable for all levels of experience – from absolute beginners to the more experienced crafter.
They are a great intro to a craft you may always have wanted to try or an opportunity to brush up on your existing skills.
This year’s programme includes festival favourites such as watercolours, embroidery and brush lettering as well as crafts new to the festival including silver clay, dried flower embroidery, sashiko and shibori. There is a selection of one and two hour workshops led by wonderful makers who will guide you through the craft process.
We hope you will leave the festival feeling inspired and with an armful of beautiful things that you have made!
Yoga
Relax and unwind at our drop in yoga sessions!
Run by the very wonderful Kerrie Murray Dru Yoga is a beautiful, flowing form of yoga for all abilities and ages. It helps to relax, unwind and stretch out your body. It also revives tired muscles, reduces back pain and combats stress. Yoga gives your body a much-needed rest from all the ‘doing.’ In particular, it gives your mind a chance to stop, relax and find a quiet, still point in your busy world.
Drop in sessions will be at 11am, 12noon, 1pm, 2pm & 3pm - no experience necessary, just come as you are (no special clothing required) Mats are provided and sessions last around 30mins - no need to book just drop by!
Caring for your wellbeing has to come from within. You need to let go of expectations and embrace the present moment. Yoga gives you the tools to do this!
