Give the gift of weaving
Weaving is known to be a therapeutic activity... forget the spa day voucher and treat a family or friend to a day out in the countryside learning the craft of weaving with a modern twist with workshop or monetary vouchers.
Making the most of your gift...
Like with any gift you give, you want to make sure the recipient can make the most of it. At Dobby & Rose, Rebecca provides a personal experience at the workshop in a relaxed home environment, which is rare to find these days.
The local area is definitely worth exploring too if they are from out of town. It is filled with fresh country air, local independent businesses and gorgeous walks in the Surrey Hills.
Here are some of our recommended local businesses and activities for them to try after the weaving workshop .
Cafes, Country Pub & Accommodation
If you're after a light lunch after your Workshop, Applegarth is 10 minutes away in Grayshott. You will find a Cafe/Restaurant, Farm Shop and Artisan Cabins.
The Bel & Dragon in Churt is, like Dobby & Rose, a mix between traditional country pub and modern gastro food.
If you are looking for a cosy luxury lodge, Devil's Cradle is set in the middle of the countryside with plenty of outdoor activities nearby.
Country Walks & Sightseeing
Less than a 10 minute drive is Hindhead Commons & Devil's Punchbowl. An expansive countryside walk with stunning views and lots of trails for varying abilities. There is also a car park and cafe.
10 minutes in the other direction is Hankley Common, where the James Bond movie, Skyfall, was set! It is also used for MOD training so watch our for soldiers in the bushes!
The Sculpture Park is Britain's most eclectic sculpture exhibition and we are lucky enough to have it on our doorstep.
