You are welcome to come for a day, a few days or the whole week the course is suitable for beginners or those with experience, we all can learn more!

Students will be able to sew as much or as little as they please…you are here to enjoy yourself and take in the ambience of the Somerset Levels and all that it offers.

Outings can be made to Quilting shops, or local attractions…Wells Cathedral, Street (factory outlets) Glastonbury and its Abbey or the local Willow and Basket Centre. You can even see how hurdle fences, arbours and seats are made on site.Visit www.English Hurdle.com
