Every year we offer people the opportunity to take part in a hands-on, heritage-focused peat cutting course that not only teaches the traditional skill but also promotes responsible and sustainable practices.

​

The course tends to offer the opportunity to learn directly from local experts; with decades of experience, they guide participants through the practical steps of turfing, cutting and lifting peats for drying, while sharing the rich history and local stories that connect the community to the land.

 

The course is perfect for beginners looking to learn the skill,  or for those seeking a refresher before returning to their own peat bank this season.

​

As well as learning traditional skills, attendees will be introduced to sustainable cutting methods, ensuring this cultural practice continues in harmony with the environment.​ Don’t miss this chance to connect with tradition, land, and community, all while learning a skill that has shaped life here for generations.
