Beltie Bauble Felting
Do you love the fluffy Belted Galloway cows that can be found grazing National Trust sites across the Cotswolds? Here is a chance to needle-felt your own Belted Galloway Bauble to decorate for Christmas!
- Booking essential
As seen decorating the Tinkley Gate Cafe tree last year, we are offering brand new workshops for visitors to craft their own this Christmas.
Join us for a relaxed and creative workshop where you'll learn how to needle-felt wool into an adorable Belted Galloway decoration to take home and treasure year after year.
Perfect for beginners, this friendly session will guide you through the basics of needle felting from scratch. Whether you're completely new to the craft or looking to develop your skills, experienced volunteers will provide step-by-step instruction and all the tools and materials you'll need to create your own festive "Beltie" bauble.
Take some time out from the busy festive season, enjoy a mindful afternoon of crafting, and be inspired by one of the Cotswold countryside's most iconic characters.
Your ticket also includes a complimentary hot drink from the café, so you can settle in with a tea, coffee or hot chocolate while you craft.
Spaces are limited so book a place now.
