The Woodyard is an off-grid, low impact, making, teaching & events space on a farm surrounded by fields and woods. For the last 17yrs we have run our Roundwood Timber Framing courses here and now the Woodyard hosts many other events. The Woodyard can be hired for your event too.


The Woodyard is a space to; Nurture playfulness and creativity. Take inspiration from observing nature. Enjoy the quiet, slow down, enjoy ‘being present’. Feel a little more feral and live simply for a while. Let intuition, improvisation and risk taking lead the way. Explore ways to create together for the love of the journey. Try ancient techniques. Trust…… We take our rubbish and recycling home. Resist accumulating un-harmonious things here. Enjoy that we too are nature. Be kind to each other. Respect those yet to arrive who will benefit from an un-cluttered environment that is easy on the eye and good for the soul.

Meals on our courses are always a shared event and we have a well fitted out field kitchen (no fridge)
