WILLOW COURSES AND EVENTS
Willow workshops ranging from plant supports to willow animals.
Sussex Willow events at Horam Manor Farm are booked through Dominic and others booked directly through the venue.
Bespoke courses are available for individuals and groups and can be run at your venue.
Gift vouchers are available for courses and products.
At present due to Covid19 restrictions all courses are taking place outside, with social distancing in place and hand sanitiser readily available.
Students will therefore have to dress for the weather, there is some covered outside space in the event of heavy rain.
COVID UPDATE
I'm going to be gradually adding new dates as we feel our way in post lockdown mode.
All courses will be in small groups and outside.
