One of our favourite parts of getting ready for reopening is booking in all the fun creative workshops guests can enjoy during the season!
So, we're delighted to welcome back Rachael from Wharfdale Soaps who's back with two super Soap Making sessions this year.
One session in May will focus more on Spring scents and style and the June soaps will have more of a Summer vibe. But both will teach you about the raw materials of soap making, how to use the moulds and mix the different blends of scents and natural exfoliants. You have the chance to get creative as you add the finish touches and package up your soaps with ribbons and labels. You you get to take all your wonderful creations home to enjoy, or share with others - they make excellent gifts!
Tickets also include coffee or tea and cake, as well as admission to the Yorkshire Lavender gardens to it makes for a lovely, wholesome day out - filled with beautiful scenes, smells and relaxing atmosphere.
We do hope you can join us!
Fancy a go yourself?
Here are the details of this year's sessions:
Here's what a few of our guests had to say about previous sessions:
"My friend and I had an absolutely lovely time at the workshop and were delighted with the soaps we made. There was a friendly atmosphere, the instructions were clear and easy to follow , and nothing was too much trouble for Rachael. Add to this tea, cake and beautiful surroundings it was a perfect afternoon."

"Rachel was lovely. She gave us all clear instructions to make some amazing soaps. I've gifted most of mine as the gift wrap and tags were so pretty. Along with the stickers with all the ingredients on, once we'd finished we had a very professional product. A thoroughly enjoyable day and worth the 2hr drive to get to you"

"I thoroughly enjoyed the soap making workshop on 9th May. I've never done anything like this before but Rachael gave us clear instructions and was very helpful and supportive throughout. I was very impressed with the end results and I would encourage anyone to have a go - it's a really fun way to spend a few hours in a wonderful setting. Plus the tea and cake was a nice bonus!"
