Ideal for those who wish to begin playfully making baskets!  At this general Willow Basket Day you can choose to make either a sculptural free woven basket, a Zarzo basket or a round gathering basket that involves traditional English techniques.

Refreshments, all materials and a tour of Coates English Willow are included. Lunch is available at an additional cost at the adjacent Lemon Tree Coffee House. Maximum of 6-8 participants per day. Willow Days are held in the indoor heated classroom.

All tools are provided, though you are more than welcome to bring along your favourite pair of secateurs and gardening gloves. Please also bring an apron or wear clothing that you don’t mind getting a little mucky!

All Willow Days are suitable for beginners and those with existing willow weaving experience. Just bring along lots of enthusiasm and by the end of the day you will be taking home your willow basket!
