Winter Wood Week 30 September – 7 October

Saturday, 30th September, 2017

Winter is coming – and we need to prepare for it. Would you like to help as a volunteer?

The Winter Wood week will be a week spent gathering winter fuel. There’ll be sessions in the wood yard splitting logs for the boiler or chopping hard wood for the wood-fired stoves, such as the one in the Mead Hall. You will also go out on the estate helping gather wind-blown wood.

In addition to healthy, outdoor activity there will be opportunities for study, informal conversation and, of course, you will enjoy fine meals. We will also be happy to accept help in the kitchen and house during the week.

The week starts with supper, at 19.00pm on September 30, and concludes with lunch on October 7th.

There is a recommended donation of £10 per day/£6 student concession, or £70/£42 per week, which helps towards the basic cost of your stay – accommodation, instruction in new skills, food, tea and coffee, laundry, etc. Additional funding comes from our Volunteer Fund.
