The Lower Shaw Farm team are inviting members of the public to join them during the summer and autumn months, for a whole host of different activities and experiences.

The Lower Shaw Farm Family Activity Holiday week will be running in August this year

The Lower Shaw Farm team have revealed their event schedule for the next few months, for members of the public to book. 

Some of the upcoming activities on offer to the public this year include:

  • The Lower Shaw Farm Family Activity Holiday ( Sunday 14 - Sunday 21 August)

It is described as a week for people of all ages to come along, make things, and have a lot of fun. Mornings of the holiday programme will mostly be spent crafting in the farm's big shed, while afternoons will be filled with games, outings and walking trips. 

A spokesperson for the event added: "Evenings will find us round the campfire, telling tales or reading a good book, together, singing songs, and watching stars. And those are only the official bits! The rest is determined by who comes, who connects, and who makes things happen.

"In the past this has included juggling, philosophy, board games galore, origami, creative writing, pizza making, a cabaret, campfire cooking, walks, yoga, sauna, riding on the vintage red tractor, and lots more!"

  • Willow Basket Making (Friday 16 September - Sunday 18 September)

Hosted by Tess Wakeling, this weekend is an opportunity for people to make willow baskets, garden structures, plant supports, sculptures, and decorations.

Attendees will spend a weekend learning how to weave with different varieties of willow sustainably grown in the South West. The event will start at noon on the Friday, and finish at 4pm on the Sunday. 

The weekend is said to be suitable for beginners, and those with some experience. For more information/booking, members of the public can visit http://www.lowershawfarm.co.uk/sep-2022
