Our location

An idyllic place to learn

• Excellent transport links via the M5 and M50
• Set within three acres of grounds on a 17th Century farmstead
• Stunning views of the Malvern Hills, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
• Our central location allows easy access to Birmingham, Bristol, Stratford and London 
• A wide choice of local towns to visit or stay during your course including Upton-upon-Severn, Great Malvern, Cheltenham and Worcester 

It far exceeded my expectations in terms of learning skills and the help and guidance I got from Peter. It has inspired me to go on to do more and more furniture making and woodworking.
