Creative venue available in Norfolk
About the Course
We are offering our home and gardens as a creative venue for wood carving (particularly spoon and bowl carving), life drawing and portraiture workshops.
Our home, originally Fersfield village hall and primary school, has a large private back garden and off-road parking for up to three cars. Already used as a studio and venue for spoon carving workshops, the setting is on the edge of Fersfield, a sleepy village on the Norfolk-Suffolk border easily accessible from the A1066 Diss - Thetford road.
The gardens contain mature trees and several out-buildings that are available for use including, a wood-fired Finnish sauna, spa (May-October) and Finnish cabin; there is also an outside composting toilet.
The lawn also provides ample space to erect gazebos and a marquee if required.
Situated in the garden, we have a caravan that has been converted for use as a cafe. It is equipped with electricity, running water, fridge, freezer, gas rings, two gas ovens and ample food preparation space. The caravan has safety tips to make it available to people with limited mobility.
Inside the house there is a down stairs toilet with grab rails and a large front room with wooden flooring.
