Laura Bunnage reviewed: Willow Basket Weaving at Manor Wood

"Myself and my mum attended the Willow basket weaving course with Matt and teacher Olinda. We were complete beginners but both were very welcoming and accommodating. It was a beautiful woodland setting and there was plentiful supply of hot drinks. Perfect for a November day! We had a really great time and came away with beautiful baskets. Thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended 😁"

Josh reviewed: Whittling Workshop

"I had a fantastic time on this course!! Matt is so very clearly passionate about his work which just fully enhances him as such a great teacher and Emma was super kind and attentive, keeping us provided with drinks as needed! This combined with such a peaceful atmosphere makes for a perfect experience for those just starting out whittling, or even those more experienced looking for a relaxing couple hours :)"
