THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT
Emma Barclay brings a Victorian Christmas to life..

Tickets include festive refreshment, of course.
Victorian or formal dress is optional, but there will be prizes!
Note to the nervous: crackers will be pulled during the evening.
Stonemasonry Workshop
Saturday 22 June 2024 £149Book now
Neil Luxton, the cemetery stonemason, leads one of his popular stonemasonry workshops.
Using the slab and tools supplied, you will learn how to carve stone under Neil's expert guidance. At the end of the day you can take home your stone. It is a good idea to arrive with a design in mind, preferably drawn out (A4) so you don't spend time deciding what to carve. Neil will advise you about how ambitious you should be.
Tea, coffee and biscuits are supplied. Bring your own lunch.
