Half-Day Woven Willow Flower Workshop
Come and join Stuart Fidler and Emma Booth – the Coddiwomplers – for a fun, relaxed willow weaving workshop.
What will I do?
- Under the tuition of two experienced willow-weavers, you will learn to weave a willow flower using traditional basketry techniques and a range of willow varieties.
- The centre of the flower is the same as a round basket base, so is a great first step in learning basket making.
- Your flower can be planted in the garden on the stout willow rod provided, or hung on a wall inside.
Who is this workshop suitable for?
- People aged 16 and over
- Beginners; no experience necessary
- Some manual dexterity and strength is required for weaving the willow

If you need to cancel a workshop
If you are unable to attend your booked workshop and notify us at least 7 full days in advance of the workshop date, we can offer a refund or a transfer to the same workshop on an alternative date, providing there are places available or a course is planned for the future.
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.
Our right to cancel a workshop
All our workshops have a minimum attendance level and may be cancelled if too few bookings are received. We reserve the right to cancel or postpone workshops at any time. Should we need to cancel a workshop, we will give you as much notice as possible of the cancellation. You will receive a full refund or, if you prefer, a transfer to an alternative available course, space permitting. Unfortunately, we cannot accept any liability for travel or other costs.

In farming news…
We have been busy planting 100 new oak trees on a newly acquired block of land.
With the picturesque landscape of fields, hedgerows, woodland, and mature oaks surrounding us, we are dedicated to enhancing this natural space and creating important wildlife corridors across the Estate.
This planting is particularly significant as it represents the first step in restoring a lost green lane to its former state. Next year, we hope to fill the spaces between the young oaks with a native hedge. This addition will provide a crucial winter food source, nesting habitat, and a passage for local wildlife.
We believe that these efforts will not only improve the beauty of Rougham Estate but also contribute positively to the local ecosystem. Thank you for supporting us in this important work of restoration and preservation.
And enjoy taking in the sights on your walks around the Estate grounds!

Last week we formally opened The Meadow Room as a business venue perfect for training, workshops, strategy days, team building days and more. Some local business owners attended the open event to find out more.
It makes a perfect spot for escaping the hustle and bustle of the corporate world in the tranquil setting of the Suffolk countryside.
Catering can be provided by Roots cafe as part of the offering. It can currently seat up to 16 long table, 30 in theatre style and 40/50 for stand up networking.
Set on the estate there are many walks and outdoor space available for team building or walks available during hire.
So if you are looking for a small and quiet space away from the office - for whatever reason, the room is available for hire. More can be found on our website - link in comments.
