Coppice Crafts: Hurdle Making Wild Workshop

Join and learn the traditional skill of hurdle making.

Learn the traditional art of hurdle making.  Historically used as a portable fencing panel for penning sheep when grazing, today hurdles are used as natural fencing in gardens and allotments.  Produce your own woven hurdle using both willow and hazel coppiced on-site.  You'll learn basic weaving techniques and leave with your own hurdle and the skills to carry on weaving.

All tools and materials will be provided.  This workshop will take place entirely outdoors, and will last for approximately four hours, so please come dressed for the weather.  Please bring your own lunch.   Alternatively, there is a café on site where you may purchase food and drink.

This activity is intended for adults, and no experience is necessary.
