Really enjoyed the stool making course at Abney cemetery. It’s a great way to meet a lovely bunch of people, spend time outside, learn something new and at the end of it you’ve got a beautiful piece of furniture. Thanks to Graham and Ed for being such patient and supportive teachers. Book a spot - you won’t regret it!

What a wonderful way to spend 3 days! Very mindful and connected to nature. The course instruction was great and Ed and Graham are patient teachers. Overall I felt part of a lovely community of fellow bodgers and there's a real sense of achievement at the end of it all. Have already recommended this course to others.
