Discover Bushcraft at The Gardens of Easton Lodge

We had a fantastic day at The Gardens of Easton Lodge recently. A big thank you to everyone who stopped by for some cordage making. I was so busy I completely failed to get any action shots, but here are some from the beginning of the day.

If you are a nature reserve, local attraction or festival organiser and would like Discover Bushcraft to come along and deliver a range of activities for your visitors, please contact helen@discoverbushcraft.co.uk to discuss what we can offer.
