Really enjoyed taking part in the needle felting course at The Old Barn on Sunday. It’s a lovely venue, and we especially enjoyed the home-made cake served with a cup of tea mid-afternoon. It’s the second course I’ve done at The Old Barn and I’ll definitely go back to do more.

Sarah was a fantastic host at The Old Barn and the Christmas Wreath Making workshop my Mum and I attended was second to none. Sarah’s knowledge, artistry and teaching skills meant that we were able to learn enough in just a few hours to create and take home stunning arrangements that have been receiving endless compliments! Would definitely do this workshop again!

Such a lovely afternoon. 6 of us rocked up with no idea what we were doing and a few bottles of prosecco in our bags. 2 hours later we all had gorgeous wreaths and very little had been drunk as we ended up so focused! Tea and cake were also provided by the very patient host who gently guided us through the process. Definitely recommend x

Another fabulous workshop and am delighted with my Christmassy, Steampunk Lamp! Great atmosphere, clear instructions even though I was well beyond my comfort zone. Amazing cake to keep us going. Also bought a lovely fresh Christmas wreath for front door. Next on the workshop list- Christmas biscuits!

Lovely afternoon at this Botanical Watercolour Workshop. Tessa Asquith-Lamb was very knowledgeable and generous with her time. The Old Barn was the perfect host and the coffee and cake delicious!
