So as not to scare anyone off, this is for beginners and enthusiasts alike. I just want to facilitate a time in your diary for you to come and have a go, do something different. Maybe even spark a new hobby or love. We all need a pastime that relaxes us, lifts us and shuts our mind off from other stuff, so here it is. You can’t go wrong, everything you put down on the paper is all creative!

Saturday 28th February | 3–5pm
Max 25 people

A relaxed, no-money clothes swap — bring up to 10 clean, good-quality pieces you’re happy to part with and take what you genuinely love.

Arrival: Please come between 2:45–3:00pm so you have time to sort your items before swapping begins at 3:15pm.

Guidelines:
• Clothing only (no underwear or swimwear)
• Bring pieces you’d happily give to a friend — no stains, holes or broken zips
• We won’t be organising clothes by size — items are arranged by type (dresses, jackets, knitwear, etc.) to keep things simple and relaxed
• Sort your items into the correct section on arrival
• Swap mindfully — this is a community event
• You don’t need to take the same number you bring

Refreshments: Coffee (or tea) & homemade bake – £5

Donation: Any remaining clothes will be donated to Naomi House & Jacksplace, so please only bring items you’re happy to part with.

Spaces are limited to 25 people, so please let me know if you’d like to come along — or if you’d like to help on the day.

Our seasonal Craft Night is back! As always, there’ll be easy to follow instructions and some wonderful creations for your home.

Supper will be served in the dining room by the woodburning stove. A warming one-pot with sourdough and a cheeky (but healthyish) pud. BYOB if you like too, come with friends and make it an alternative night out at Damson.

BOOKING IS NOW CLOSED FOR 2025!

Join us for the jolliest workout of the year!

The Christmas Bloody Mary Workout is a 45 minute Woodland Workout class, held in the great outdoors (whatever the weather) at Damson Hill Cottage. You get to wear your Christmas hat (or your Christmas leggings) if you like, and afterwards we’ll mix you up a festive Bloody Mary made with Turner & Hardy’s IOW tomatoes (or a Virgin Mary - or a Bucks Fizz if you prefer) , teas, coffees, herbals and juice. There’ll be delicious bacon / halloumi / avocado / tomato / rocket flatbreads to enjoy and fresh fruit to follow. This will be served in our house with wood burning fires and general christmas-ness!

Wild Woodland Wreath Making Workshop

This December, I’m going to be hosting my ‘Wild Woodland Wreath Making Workshops!’ again and I’d love you to join in.

After your welcome coffee or tea (served from Betty the Caravan Cafe) we’ll venture into the undergrowth to forage for fronds, foliage and flowers to build and decorate our wreaths. There won’t be any oasis, just beautiful woodland treasures transformed into something seasonally spectacular.

You don’t need any crafting skills. It’s super easy to get a gorgeous result (and I have lots of tips and tricks which I have learnt through practice and am keen to share!) so there’s no need to worry that you won’t be able to create a masterpiece that you’ll be proud to display all Christmas long!

Most of all it should be a lovely, festive event to really get you in the mood for Christmas. A change to get some fresh air, enjoy the great outdoors (and then cosy up inside if freezing and wet) and learn a new skill that you’ll be able to use again every year.

The cost of the workshop is £48 per person

Book your place below. Spaces are limited and book up FAST… so don’t hang about.

It’s back, always on the Christmas circuit here at Damson. Fire roaring, lots of chat & laughter, a lot of folding and glueing too mind you, and a delicious healthy supper too.
