"Excellent course, great value for money
with passionate and
knowledgeable instructors. The course is
flexible so can be tailored to
the needs of those attending it so they get maximum value from it.
Sarah is a welcoming host and the work being
done at Orchard Barn is
inspiring.
I highly recommend this course to any owner of an historic
building looking to understand about their asset and how they can
maintain it themselves."

heritage home Simon Longman
"As an owner of a timber-framed
building, I found the timber
frame restoration skills course at Orchard Barn very helpful and
enjoyable. With the help and guidance from the course tutors and the
knowledge they passed on, I was able to decide on what work needed
doing, how to do it myself and perhaps more importantly, what I
shouldn't do. Orchard Barn is a great environment for what was a
productive and comradery week."
