Cowshed Creative

Birthdays are all about creating memories and enjoying new experiences - so being gifted a place each at the Willow Garden Structures Workshop was a real thrill. George was so helpful prior to the event, providing preparatory information, checking our lunch choices and extending a warm welcome ahead of the day. Hannah, who led the workshop, was knowledgeable and tirelessly patient in ensuring we were able to learn the techniques and create a pair of garden obelisks that will be fabulous for hosting a colourful splash of sweet peas that we're planning to nurture. Being phone signal and wifi signal free was liberating and added to the sense of being disconnected from the hustle and bustle of daily life - allowing us both to get totally absorbed in the experience and only distracted by the delicious homecooked lunch and delightful afternoon tea and cake. For anyone looking for a practical, relaxed and creative experience set in beautiful lake district surroundings that includes absolutely wonderful home made food then this it is well worth booking!

Excellent course and well organised and delivered. I loved my day creating a willow garden support and was really pleased with how it turned out as well as everything I learned to do it again in my own time and with different materials. Thank you also for the delicious food and friendly welcome and a it was beautiful spot to spend the day to boot :-)

Came here for a jewellery making workshop and it was phenomenal. The course itself was wonderful, I still wear the rings made that day. In addition to this though, the owner of the space made it a comfortable experience with a delicious lunch and excellent company. If that wasn't enough it's also situated in one of the most beautiful spots in cumbria, a gorgeous, green valley with the river Kent running through it. I cannot recommend this highly enough, I'll be going again!
