These popular story walks are an hour long and take place at Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite. 

 

During the walk, Pridie shares a magical mix of folklore and stories connected to our native trees, plants and creatures, as well as an exciting assortment of practical bushcraft and wilder life tips.

​

Private bookings can also be made for up to six people (cost £60).

This summer acoustic folk artists Chris Ellis and Jodie Lovick are returning to Cwmffrwd Farm to weave spellbinding melodies and enchanting harmonies around and alongside the ancient tales of folklorist Pridie Tiernan.

​

The evening promises to be a rich mix of storytelling and song that takes its inspiration entirely from the wildflower mountain meadows here at the farm.

 

With the native trees, plants and creatures that thrive in this magical environment as our inspiration, Pridie, Chris and Jodie will share stories and songs throughout the evening - the perfect way to celebrate the magic of a landscape bursting with the beauty of high summer.

The third of our Family Bushcraft holiday workshops. This very special workshop will be led by our artist in residence Lauren Youngs, focusing on foraging from the hedgerow and meadows to make the most incredible natural art and crafting materials as well as equisite nature-inspired art itself! From using bark to make brushes, creating charcoal based paints, and experimenting with mushroom made inks, to drawing from nature and chatting about living off grid - this will be a truly delightful experience!

​

(Pssst...Pridie will also be there to share a selection of nature-connected folklore and storytelling!)  

Have you ever held an acorn in your hand and wondered at the world it contains within? Have you ever sat with a tree, and imagined its story - past, present and future? 

​

Join Antonia and Pridie on this immersive nature-based writing workshop, where you'll explore and deepen your connection with the more than human world via a beautiful blend of practical bushcraft experiences, nature-inspired storytelling and joyful writing exercises. 

​

Antonia and Pridie share a passion for exploring how practical and storied immersion in nature can connect people with the natural world. The more we become engaged with nature, the more we want to do all we can to protect it! 

​

In essence, this workshop is a very gentle form of environmental activism, done through the joyful medium of outdoor skill development and the spoken and written word. It will involve the sharing of stories around the fire, a chance to learn about the 'old ways' of interacting with the land, an opportunity to find out more about the plants and the trees, and to get creative with some imaginative, uplifting writing exercises that help people sink deeper into the folds of the natural world.

​

Please note that fireside supper and camping is included for all participants. 

This man is a wizard with wood, and here is the perfect opportunity to hang out with our resident woodsman and ask him anything you want about felling, processing and working with trees. 

​

Dan will demonstrate some of the very many interesting things he gets up to here with trees, as well as guide you in the creation of your very own masterpiece to take home. 

​

The second of our Family Bushcraft holiday workshops. This workshop focuses on using, and making, tools in the outdoors - from foraging for string and whittling knives, to building fire tripods and weaving with willow, it's all about how we use what nature provides to create the most incredible things! 

​

(Pssst...there's also a generous selection of nature-connected folklore and storytelling!)

The fourth of our Family Bushcraft holiday workshops. This workshop focuses on foraging from the hedgerow and meadow in order to make some magical medicines for the home - we walk out with our baskets to forage for plants that we'd usually pass by, whittle our own spatulas, create our own bubbling decoctions on the fire, and make beeswax balms, tonics and teas to take home. 

​

(Pssst...there's also a generous selection of nature-connected folklore and storytelling!)  

Fully embrace the energy of autumn with Somatic Movement Educator Rebecca Bond and professional storyteller Pridie Tiernan.

​

Spend a blissful day exploring the relationship between our inner and outer worlds, with this beautiful blend of nature-inspired somatic movement, breath work, storytelling and inspired art.

 

We'll map both body and land; tracking sensation and breath through spontaneous movement, and sharing stories, experiences and dreams rooted in our experiences of the natural world.

 

Add to that the time to walk, talk, forage, explore a variety of creative art forms such as mandalas and alters, and we have ourselves a heavenly setting in which to celebrate this extra special time of year.

The first of our Family Bushcraft holiday workshops. Perfect for all the family, this workshop focuses on all things fire - from foraging the right seasonal materials and mouthwatering morsels to tinder bundle construction, fire lays, bow drill and a truly magical bannock recipe!

Educator and artist Kate is one of those very special humans. Specialising in combining the creative arts with mindful meditation in wild nature spaces, this lady takes you on a journey that is guaranteed to gift you peace and inspiration throughout!

Here is the perfect opportunity to hang out with Kate and learn how to make exquisite art with trees as your inspiration, leaving with your very own masterpiece to take home. 

​

Our man James is happiest when he's constructing something...especially if the kit he's building involves fire! 

​
