Bring friends and family together with the bridal party to create a bespoke event with something for everyone. From Flower Crowns or Willow Heart making to Fire Lighting we have a wide selection of activities for you to include in your fun-filled outdoor ‘experience’ set within the beautiful surroundings of Surrey Hills!
We will help you create your own bespoke agenda for your day or weekend, choosing from a list of activity options or you can suggest something you would like to do or make!
We work mainly with wood and all materials used are sourced locally through sustainable woodland management programmes.
We run half-day, full-day and multi-day events.
The photos shown here are of Hen Parties hosted at Birtley Woodland Art Space, our outdoor studio set in the woods on the 48-acre Birtley Estate in Bramley, Guildford.
We have a choice of locations across the Surrey Hills and West Sussex that we use for our training courses and workshops. We can also consider running workshops at a location of your choice for your private group if suitable.
We have put together a selection of activity options and workshops for you to choose from so you can build your experience to suit your group. You can also refer to our full list of workshop experiences to include within your event.
We work mainly with wood and all materials used are sourced locally through sustainable woodland management practice.
1. Willow Hearts: Each of you can make a Willow heart to take home or gift/lend to the bride as a wedding decoration to hand in and around your wedding venue both inside and out.
2. Fire Lighting: Create fire using an ancient technique! Using a bow drill you will rub two sticks together to effortlessley create fire, such a fun activity for groups.
3. Photo frame: A large frame can be made and decorated, to be hung in a tree and used as a photo booth at the Wedding. Can also be used during the Hen party event.
4. Candle holder: Select a piece of wood to turn into a tea-light Candle Holder for you to take home or gift to the bride for her wedding. The wood has been pre-drilled so all you have to do is sand it down and treat it with special oils.
5. Decoupage: Decorate tea-light candle holders or small boards with dried flowers or other materials (decoupage).
6. Large birch heart: A large heart – approximately 1.5 metres in diameter can be made by a small group of 2 to 4 individuals.
7. OneWheel: Learn how to ride a Onewheel. An exciting new electric boardsport from the USA. Not too dissimilar to the hoverboards from Back to the Future, the Onewheel will allow you to experience the feeling of snowboarding on any terrain. Learn the basics of how to balance and manoeuvre on the board in your session.
8. Foraging Walk: Learn about the uses, history and folklore of a range of different wild edibles, have a nibble to taste their varied flavours and finish it off by enjoying a wild brew.
9. Make a sting relief balm: Using the incredible h1. healing properties of plantain we will infuse plantain into natural oils and locally sourced beeswax to create a soothing balm that has a huge range of medicinal uses.
10. Hair Wreaths: A hen party isn’t complete without each of you creating your own hair wreath from Willow. Forage in the woodlands and around the lakes for a selection of flora to decorate or choose to make Flower Crowns with beautiful dried flowers and grasses provided.
We have a variety of catering options available to offer you, an outdoor dining experience can be included as part of your event including continental or cooked breakfasts, buffets, warming stews and soups for lunch, picnics, cheese & charcuterie boards and afternoon teas!
We also have a selection of preferred suppliers who all use local produce and seasonal ingredient. As we are members of Surrey Hills Enterprises we often collaborate with fellow members who offer various catering options we can source for you (subject to their availability).
The catering option you may wish to choose will be dependent on various factors such as your group’s specific requirements, the number of individuals in your group, the number of meals you would like to have during the day and the menu and food experience you prefer!
Please contact us to discuss your requirements and we will be pleased to provide you with a no-obligation quotation for your consideration.
