There is a good mixture of practical and theoretical work. We aim to give students a first hand experience of the day to day realities of living on a smallholding. The School is open during the summer months. Courses are fully residential and normally run from a Sunday evening until the following Friday night (i.e. 5 days and 6 nights). A number of weekend courses are also held. To see the current programme, availability and make a booking click here.
