Welcome to Quirky Workshops at Greystoke Craft Garden and Barns.

Since 2005, we’ve hosted inspiring Art, Craft and Heritage Skills courses from this peaceful C17th farmhouse venue on the edge of the Lake District.

• Our Spaces: workshops are hosted in our sensitively restored Grade II listed studios, Swallow Barn and Squirrel Barn.

• Fuel Your Creativity: Fresh coffee & homemade biscuits to start, and a tasty home made lunch is followed by Aga cream tea. Hot drinks throughout.

• Easy Access: We're 5mi west of Penrith & J40 of the M6/A66, perfectly nestled between the Eden Valley and Ullswater, the Lake District.

• Stay a While: Turn your visit into a short break! Explore local B&Bs and pubs via the Greystoke Village Website or Airbnb.

" I am SO impressed with the loveliness of the Swallow barn. ..it’s such a calm, safe space... its layout makes it easy to chat and to look at what others are doing. I’m so glad I came, I feel uplifted, somewhat healed and much more positive. Oh... and the lunch was just wonderful too! Jane "

Tutor demonstrations can either be projected onto a screen, or students can gather round, allowing flexibility.

You can select your food options on arrival and our tasty lunches are served around 12.30 to 1pm. Lunch can either be taken at your own desk or in the garden in summer.
Our Pizza Oven, Raku pottery firing, Spoon carving and Wood Carving courses take place outside (mostly during the summer months) with shelter available if needed.

Cookery Days and all previous workshop lunches that took place in our farmhouse kitchen are no longer offered.

We look forward to welcoming you to this lovely corner of Cumbria and Greystoke village.
