Dalby Forest

Join us this Easter for a dragon puppet making workshop in Dalby Forest. You will be guided by a dragon puppet making expert who will help you choose your materials and safely craft your mystical friend...

Learn how to craft your very own dragon, inspired by the forest and then take them out for adventures aplenty in the forest!

The dragon puppet workshop is for ages 3 years plus. Accompanying siblings/friends will be given a free activity. For ages 1-3 years old this will be a nature-based play exploration basket. For 3 years and over, a dragon inspired Forest Craft and Play activity sheet (age appropriate). 

Each workshop is £9, or two participants for £16 which can be paid on the day. Simply turn up to join in the fun!

Join us at the Dalby Forest Visitor Centre for a relaxing and grounding evening filled with connection, relaxation, and the opportunity to stabilise your root chakra energy.

We will open our circle with cacao, which is naturally heart opening, and we will consider why feeling connected and safe through our root chakra is so important.

We will then embark on a journey of breathwork and yoga, focusing on poses that will ground and connect you to Mother Earth.

Yoga will melt into a guided meditation, snuggled in your blankets and pillows. We will have the space to journal and/or share any thoughts or feelings.

Herbal teas and homemade cookies will finish off the evening.

Only £20 per person, book online or on the Balance Rooms app.

Want to deepen your practice after yoga in Dalby?

Join Chantelle from The Balance Rooms for an informative introduction to breathwork and meditation, integral aspects of a full yoga practice.

Over the course of the four nights, you will learn two energising breath techniques as well as two relaxing breath techniques. You’ll also learn various ways to get yourself into a deep meditative state.

Only £39.99 for all four nights, this course is bound to deepen your practice and take you to new realms of introspection and relaxation, all within the lovely setting of Dalby Forest. 

Each class will begin with an introduction to the basics of glass fusing, explaining how the kiln is used to create a variety of different effects. Students will have the opportunity to use the glassmaker’s specialist tools to mark, score and break glass in a controlled way. Students will then design and make their own glass panel landscape with clear and coloured fusible sheet glass and other compatible glass products to produce a woodland scene, to be collected 2 weeks after your workshop.

Artist Bio:

The course is led by artist David Teece, an established maker and seller of specialised glass art from the heart of Yorkshire. Inspired by light, colour and with a hint of the dramatic, David creates decorative items in fused and stained glass. 

A graduate in Art and Design and a fully qualified teacher, David works from the Garden Studio in the heart of Masham. The studio houses three kilns and all the other necessary equipment, where David creates his own art works for sale in local outlets and completes individual commissions for private clients. 

David also offers individual and small group tutorials in fused and stained glass for beginners and intermediates and the more specialised use of the vitrigraph kiln for more established glass artists.
