Dive into the world of craftsmanship with our popular Workshop Experience Day.

This unique opportunity invites you to step into our world and learn the artistry behind creating one of our signature pieces - our doorstops or chopping board. Spend a relaxing time in a beautiful setting with likeminded people and learn new skills.

Join us for a 3-4 hour immersive experience, where you'll be guided through the intricate process of bringing oak to life under Jeanette's tuition.

The teaching takes place at our farm, just outside Canterbury.

All tools and materials are provided, and you will go home with an engraved doorstop which you have made. Do not worry if you don't have any woodworking experience. We will guide you through every step on the way.

Light refreshments are available throughout the course.

Transport back and forth to the train station is available with prior notice.

Our courses are now part of our charity The Quercus Conservation Trust. All proceeds go to teaching children, veterans and other people in society who particularly could benefit from learning a skill, but may not be able to afford one of our courses. The materials, tools and teaching are donated by The Oak & Rope Company.

Coffee/Tea and refreshments provided through the day.

Transport back and forth from Canterbury train station available on request.

We are located 2 km away from The Pig Hotel, Bridge.

We can design and provide bespoke course for groups or corporate team building days.
