Cwym Tawel // Bridgend, South Wales

These varied weekends of sewing fun will give you new skills, introduce you
to new people, and offer you the chance to have a wonderful break away
from home too. Choose from a range of different workshops including dress
to impress, thread painting, hexagon happenings, machine embroidery and
art deco wall hangings. These workshops are run by expert tutors who will
ensure you have a wonderful weekend and come away with something you
have made yourself. These great weekends take place in Dunford House,
a beautiful 18th-century building set in 60 acres of tranquil parkland. The
sewing group takes over the entire hotel for the weekend, so everyone there
is involved in the course – it’s a great way to make new friends and new
clothes! Prices start at £345.

Cwyn Tawel is a relaxing and peaceful getaway – it’s a campsite with a
difference, utilising yurts rather than tents. Each of the yurts has been
furnished with authentic ethnic and rustic furniture including fluffy sheepskins,
and each one has a central log burner for the chillier evenings. They are
warm and inviting, but with so many courses to join in with, you might not
be in your yurt that much after all! Courses include wild food foraging, willow
basket making, felt making, woodland crafts, camp fire cooking, coracle
(a traditional calico boat) making, how to make a rustic Welsh stick chair,
how to make a Welsh love spoon and willow sculpting. It’s all good fun and
will give you a sense of achievement when you have learned your new
outdoor skill. Breathe in the fresh air, get active, and at the end of the day
relax in front of a log burner or in the new spa pool. What could be better?
Prices start from £310.
