As well as taking home your own willow creation, you can see the willow being grown and processed at first hand, taking in one of Somerset's oldest crafts. Visitors are welcome to walk through the withy fields and enjoy the amazing variety of wildlife that the Somerset Levels has to offer.

For four generations the Musgrove family has been producing willow for baskets, hurdles, gifts and coffins.

As a result they are committed to developing the understanding of this carbon neutral material, working closely with the environment and the wildlife and refusing to use dyes or bleaches on their willow.

Whether you're on holiday in Somerset or simply looking for a fun and interesting craft course to do in one of the most beautiful, green parts of Britain, Musgrove Willows have the course for you.
