We offer flexible spaces for hosting creative workshops or lectures, meeting rooms, and rental units for professional craftspeople seeking a community environment.
Based on a Grade II* listed former Victorian model farm on the Buscot and Coleshill estate, the Heritage and Rural Skills Centre has a range of spaces to rent within refurbished farm buildings. The site is also home to a visitor information centre, second-hand bookshop and an independently-run café.
We have several craft units to let for professional craftspeople keen to work alongside one another in a supportive, collaborative environment. The units have shared use of a meeting room, mess room and toilet facilities.
We also have a range of flexible spaces if you’re looking to host a meeting or lecture. We can host up to 30 people in the Timber Store, or up to 10 in our more intimate spaces the Groom's Loft or Smithy.
We host a range of heritage and rural craft courses for professionals, beginners and hobbyists from our studio spaces. If you’re a professional crafts person interested in delivering a workshop here, we’d love to hear from you.
We’ll sell your tickets through the Heritage and Rural Skills Centre website and promote the workshop through various marketing channels.
For more information on hiring any of our spaces or hosting a workshop, please phone 01793 762209 or email us via buscotandcoleshill@nationaltrust.org.uk. We look forward to helping you.
