Art & Craft Courses
Arts & Craft Programme at Stanwick Lakes
Stanwick Lakes has a wide variety of art and craft courses available throughout the year, from batik silk-painting to glass fusion candle-holder classes. Whether you want to learn a new skill, or are a budding artist, the Visitor Centre’s diverse spaces accommodate a range of workshops, and the natural light that streams through the windows attracts regular groups.
The site is run by Rockingham Forest Trust as a social enterprise and any income made from Art and Craft classes held at Stanwick Lakes is reinvested into the crafts programme and used for maintaining the site as a nature reserve and countryside attraction. Arts and crafts events are kept at a low cost, to enable as many people as possible to have a go and be introduced to a new skill.
There is ample parking onsite, and a car pass is included in the course price.

Craft Cafe
Our weekly Craft Café is a weekday drop-in session and a great way for adults to try a new craft and to meet other crafters. The Café usually takes place on Mondays and Wednesdays (but not in the school holidays) between 10.00am and 12.00pm in the visitor centre. These sessions are free, everyone brings their own projects in with them and this collaborative and friendly group just spend time together chatting and exchanging thoughts on crafting projects. Standard car parking charges apply for this group.
