Join us for a soul-soothing evening  where serenity meets a splash of countryside wonder.

We’ll begin with a deeply relaxing Breathwork session followed by a gentle meditation in a beautiful open barn—nature’s soundtrack of birdsong and soft breeze all around us. Our theme: connection and letting go of any lingering heaviness.

AND WAIT… there’s more magic in store!

We’ll take a calming tour of the farm, meet some glorious animals up close, feed them, and learn all about them. There’s nothing more grounding than the gentle gaze of a curious goat or the nuzzle of a friendly cow

All of this for just £30 a gentle pocket of joy to carry you through the summer.

Highland Cow Needle Felting With A Difference!

£35 plus VAT-


16th May 2pm and the 4th July 2pm 2026


Please head over to the shop to book your chosen workshop.


We start the afternoon meeting and feeding the animals on the farm, before discovering the magic of needle felting with Pauline of Tangled Fibres.

You will spend time with our sheep stroking and touching their fleeces and learning a little about how and why they are sheared. You will then be able to create a stunning picture and watch as it comes to life, using wool sheared from the sheep on this farm. You really will be taking a bit of the farm home with you!

This activity is suitable from the age of 12 but all children must be supervised by an adult.

After your activity, you also get to take home the kit supplied free of charge so you can continue creating new designs!

Tea and Coffee provided throughout the afternoon.

Cancellations/refunds. Life gets in the way sometimes. If you can't make it for whatever reason, we are happy to transfer you to any future event up to 7 days prior to the event. This gives us time to re-sell your ticket. If none of the future events are suitable we will refund your ticket.

All you need is a to turn up with a good dose of enthusiasm. Why not bring your friends, family or colleagues...

We start this event with a tour around the farm. Kate the owner, has been involved with cows since she was a little girl and is no stranger in the cattle show ring. Together with her husband they started their own pedigree breed British Blondes, with her price winning bull (Boxy *). She will show you around the animals before we start our painting session in the barn overlooking the fields, smelling fresh straw and air.

Our aim is to unleash your own painting style and encourag you, where needed. It's your masterpiece and at the end your paintings will all be unique to you.

Painting is relaxing and takes you away from your daily worries! It's proven to relieve stress and depression. Its therefore great for mindfulness and wellbeing. Our workshops are therefore great for corporate wellbeing events as well as the perfect gift, lady-days', hen nights, work parties or Christmas party events
