An Introduction to Dry Stone Walling

Do you love nature, being outdoors and getting your hands dirty? If so, this could be for you! Spend a morning learning a new skill in this hands-on 3 hour introduction workshop. You will learn the basic principles of how to build a traditional dry stone wall, using local stone, and how it will benefit wildlife and support a range of creatures and insects.

Dry stone walling is a positive and calming outdoors experience, and this workshop offers a great opportunity to learn a new skill, in the fresh air, surrounded by nature and wildlife. The course covers basic construction techniques for a Devon dry stone wall. You can work at your own pace, with plenty of opportunity for discussion, then stand back and admire your craftsmanship and enjoy a slice of cake and a hot drink for your hard work!

The workshop price includes full entry into Quince Honey Farm on the day of the workshop, so why not take the opportunity to join our tours and activities and find out about the wonderful world of honeybees too.
