All tools will be provided; please wear suitable clothing for outdoor work and sturdy footwear. Drop in for an hour or stay the whole day - you will be guided throughout the day so no prior experience is necessary. This activity is suitable for all ages.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to bring anything with me?

We provide all the tools and materials you’ll need, including gloves. There will be a briefing at the start of the day, so you don’t need to prepare anything in advance.

Will we stop for lunch?

Yes! If you are staying all day, please bring along your lunch for our break halfway through the day. We will provide tea, coffee, water and biscuits to keep you going through the day!

What happens if it rains?

We usually go ahead whatever the weather, we would only reschedule in extreme circumstances. If it’s really bad we will make a judgement call the day before or on the day of the event.
