woodworking

At Yarner, we aim to create a friendly and welcoming atmosphere where students can relax and enjoy the courses. We have an excellent reputation for serving wonderful lunches, which are a combination of 'bring and share' contributions from students and our own organic produce. Many people make lasting friendships here and others have been inspired to create a more sustainable way of living in their own homes and businesses.

Booking a Course
Simply select the course that interests you and book through the website, then send in a cheque to confirm your place. About 10 days before the course we'll send you a list of anything you need to bring with you, along with a map.

Residential Courses
For those who have further to travel, we have accommodation either in our medieval farmhouse, Welcombe Barton, or at Well Farm, our organic smallholding. Just call for details 01288-331692.
