Workshops

Throughout the year we have an extensive programme of workshops and events focused on developing new skills.

Haddon Hall is a place for making, for learning and for finding new passions

Walk around Haddon Hall and you’ll see 900 years of the most exquisite craftsmanship, traditional artisanal skills and heartfelt artistic expression.

With our growing programme of workshops, we hope to provide the opportunity to learn a new skill and share our passion for craft and making. From traditional techniques to contemporary design, our expert-led sessions are inspired by centuries of craft at Haddon and the abundance of natural materials found on the Estate.

Whether you’re a seasoned maker or simply want to dip your toe in the crafting world and bring home something beautiful you’ve made yourself, Haddon’s programme of workshops has something for everyone.
