Eco-dyeing workshop 10.30 am - dyed items to be collected at 3.30 pm

After a guided walk along hedgerow and woodland around the campsite collecting flowers and foliage use your discoveries to create a naturally dyed fabric item. Each piece will be highly individual and will give you a lasting memory of your walk and the campsite.

This workshop will involve some walking, please wear suitable shoes and bring along some water to drink.
