The Workshop will have a morning session, where we will make the legs and bulk of our elephant. at 12:30, we will have a lunch break and an opportunity to explore the grounds. At 1:30, we will return and add the details to our elephant, including the trunk and tusks.

Admission to Wightwick Manor is included and you may stay after the workshop up until closing time (Please check the NT website for closing times). Parking is free.
