Bird Box Making Workshop

An eco-friendly bird box making workshop where guests make bird houses.

Our feathered friends need you!

Nest boxes are becoming vital for breeding birds. Due to tidier gardens and woodland areas, and modern buildings with fewer nooks and crannies, many will struggle to find a suitable nesting site for the breeding season. The population of some bird species has decreased, and the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) is now calling for homeowners to put up more nest boxes for declining garden birds.

In this fun, hands-on activity, guests make their very own cosy bird house to provide a safe space for birds to shelter in the winter and breed in the spring.

Guests will be guided through each step of bird box making, assembling the kit piece by piece. We’ll also give tips on the best places to put them, how to maintain them and how to attract visitors.

At the end of the bird box making workshop, guests will have learned new skills, spent time learning about and appreciating nature and will each have their bird box to take with them – either to use in their own garden or outdoor surroundings, donate or give as a gift.
