Saturday Creative at the Farm
22/08/2026 @ 11:00 - 12:00 at Bere Marsh Farm, Shillingstone
 
For experienced ‘creatives’ or those at the beginning of their creative journey, these informal sessions let you explore your writing, drawing and thinking skills, and help you form a picture of the wildlife and flowers here, and what we (and you) are doing to support the work of the Countryside Regeneration Trust. Led by Farm estate and community officer Charlotte, each week starts a new theme, and sometimes, we will use real-world information from the wildlife and wildflower surveys undertaken each week by our team of volunteers. No need to book, just turn up on the day.

Moth Tetrapak Printing Workshop
27/08/2026 @ 10:00 - 13:00 at Bere Marsh Farm, Shillingstone
 
Working in the Threshing Barn at the wonderful Bere Marsh Farm we will take inspiration from the surrounding wild flower meadows which have been rewilded as part of their regeneration projects. We will start the day by taking a gentle stroll to the meadows and gather grasses and seed heads to use in our prints. We will learn all about the process of making cyanotypes to create a set of unique prints that you can take home at the end of the day.
