Cooksbridge, Sussex

Matilda Grover 2 Day Basket Making Workshop; Cooksbridge, Sussex; 8th & 9th November 9.30am-3.30pm; Tickets £240

Join experienced teacher and maker, Matilda Grover for this wonderful Autumnal 2 day workshop in the beautiful Sussex countryside, easily accessible by car or train from London.

Over 2 days Matilda will guide you on how to prepare your materials and then weave your own small willow basket: perfect for storing fruit, vegetables, or other small items.

Whether you are completely new to basket making or have made a handful of baskets, this workshop is for you! Lunch, tea, coffee and snacks are provided each day, and the workshop is guaranteed to be an enjoyable, creative and inspiring experience, where you’ll walk away with a beautiful willow basket, crafted by your own hands.

Beechwood Hall (the location of the workshop) is situated in the picturesque hamlet of Cooksbridge, which boasts regular direct trains to London, and plenty of parking for those who prefer to drive. It is also a stone’s throw from the historical town of Lewes (home to plenty of hotels, Airbnb’s, shops and restaurants), which would make the perfect base to stay and explore outside of workshop times.

Please note that basket weaving is a physical process, and reasonable hand strength is required.

Bookings are also being taken for additional dates on 11th and 12th January 2025.
