Backwoods Experiences
Our Christmas and Late Winter 2026/27 programme has now launched and you can find it on the BackWoods website. We have lots of workshops planned for this season, with several Christmas Wreath Making workshop dates. There are two new workshops coming up, the first is in collaboration with Toni from Easley Does It; Willow Christmas Decorations, Beeswax Candles and Indian Block Printing and the second is Willow Bird Feeders. We’re also excited to be running many of our other popular workshops for this season including: Christmas Wreath Making, Christmas Lino Printing, Botanical Plaster Casting, Willow Plant Supports, Willow Dragonflies and Axe Throwing.

Lino Printing, Botanical Plaster Casting
Spring and Autumn Plant Propagation
Campfire Cooking
Axe Throwing

When it’s colder in winter and early spring, workshops are held in the workshop room with the wood burner lit! As the weather warms workshops are held under our open-sided marquee, complete with birdsong and woodland views.
