Cost (including materials): £ 120 per working pair. Includes a light lunch and refreshments.

Go for the eco-friendly solution - make a coffin out of willow!
You should be able to produce a full-size coffin during the period of the course, but it might be easier if you come together with a friend or partner.


Places will be limited - to book phone at least two weeks in advance on: 01437-74 17 14.

Special accomodation rates have been agreed with neighbouring

New House Farm
New House Farm

for the date of this course,
- a leisurely 1/2 mile walk away from us along a very quiet country lane.
A great option for anybody who would like to stay locally,
perhaps even extending it to a slightly longer break, enjoying the beauty of Pembrokeshire.

Come on your own or bring your partner / family!

New House has several cosy self-catering holiday cottages, but is also able to provide breakfast and supper
or sample the fare in one of the local pubs.
