Carve your own Hazel Walking Staff

Join Ian Varley from Rustic Carpentry for a morning or afternoon in the woods at Bradgate Park carving your very own hazel walking staff.

Taking place in our brand new Woodland Workshop area at Hunt's Hill, this is an opportunity to slow down and reconnect with nature, learning an ancient craft in a beautiful woodland setting. Each session will be led by an expert in green woodworking, and at the end of the 1.5 hour long session, you will have your very own hazel walking staff!
