If cancellation is within 7 full days of your workshop unfortunately we are unable to offer a refund. We do appreciate that sometimes unforeseen circumstances may mean that you can’t attend so we are happy for you to send along a friend to take your place. We will need their name and contact details prior to the workshop.

Be impressed by the standard of the talent of the artisans at the Blackthorpe Barn this weekend, and for the next 5 weekends. It’s worth coming just to be amazed at what dedicated craftspeople can create as well as finding unique gifts and delightful treats for yourself.
The range of crafts is huge, with around 50 makers from around the country coming to the Barn each weekend. Some makers are only here for one weekend, others stay for multiple weekends; there is always something new to see.
Online day tickets are £2.50, which is cheaper than a cup of coffee and the online season ticket is a bargain at £10 for entry to all 10 days - come and go as you please! Children 16 and under have free entry. Prices on the door: £3/day, £12/season.

In and amongst all the activities that have been going on with Pumpkins and Christmas, it hasn’t stopped the farming on the Estate.
We’ve recently been harvesting the sugar beet and if you look closely, you can see the steam coming from the sugar beet factory in background. That’s how close our footprint is!

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
