Britain's What's On Event Guide
Adult Weaving Workshop: Garden Hurdle Making
Learn to weave your own hurdle from materials you might find in your garden, a workshop for adults on our beautiful autumn nature reserve.
Hurdles are a beautiful and sustainable way to create divisions in the garden, edge paths, keep back the rabbits, support plants or even make the sides of raised beds. While hurdles are traditionally made from willow and hazel, there are lots of other plants that can be incorporated. On our garden hurdle making course you'll learn how to choose suitable materials, have a go at harvesting willow and weave a small hurdle (or maybe even 2) to take home using willow, hazel and other materials harvested from the nature reserve. Please note that weaving is a physical activity, requiring strength in the hands, some mobility and flexibility to work near the ground.
Please do get in touch if you'd like to discuss the suitability of the course for you. Hot drinks and a slice of cake included - but please remember to bring a packed lunch.
We are committed to keeping our visitors, staff and volunteers safe. Please DO NOT attend if you or your child are unwell, or testing positive for an infectious illness, such as COVID-19. Your consideration is hugely appreciated.
Please note the centre is accessible by public transport with regular buses (including connection to Didcot Parkway railway station) serving Milton Park, a few minutes walk from the centre.
