Restoring a dry stone wall is a positive and relaxing experience which promotes mindfulness and boosts wellbeing in an inspirational natural environment.

Come to Chatsworth and join a fun and informal dry stone walling course building a real dry stone wall in a stunning countryside setting. Get out in the fresh air, be next to nature, and restore an important feature that defines the British landscape.

Delivered by highly qualified craftspeople and instructors, this event spans over two days. The course is open to all abilities aged over 16 and involves the rebuilding of a dilapidated dry stone wall. During the two days you will learn the basic principles of how to strip out, prepare and restore a traditional dry stone wall to its former glory, a truly exhilarating, tangible and rewarding experience.

Stand back at the end of the session, invigorated, and admire your work, a dry stone wall that will last for hundreds of years!
