About the event

Price includes all tools and materials on the day.

We will be working outside, so please dress suitably for the weather and wear stout footwear. If it is particularly cold we will be working in the historic Orangery, the last remaining part of the old Holywells mansion.

Discover all the wild and wonderful dye plants in the park. Use locally gathered tree bark to dye a piece of fabric in 2 colours and make a wheel braid to take home with you.

Tea and coffee will be provided during the session (please bring your own mug). The Bishops Tearoom and Cafe in the stable block will be open all day, so why not pop in for tea afterward and take advantage of 10% off purchases when showing a valid event ticket.

Places are non-refundable unless the course is cancelled. 
Suffolk Wildlife Trust reserves the right to cancel a course and, in these circumstances, will fully refund course fees.
