Woodland Heritage Open Woods & Workshops

As part of Woodland Heritage’s Open Woods and Workshops we are giving you the opportunity to see behind the scenes of our furniture making workshops.

Nestled in the rolling Hampshire countryside, the Gaze Burvill workshops are filled with skilled craftspeople making both interior and outdoor furniture using the finest woods, many locally sourced and grown in Britain.

Come join a tour where you will have the opportunity to meet the designers and craftspeople behind our classic pieces to understand how modern machinery is combined with traditional craftsmanship to create such innovative pieces built to last a lifetime outdoors, including a steam bending demonstration.

We will also gather in the Flint Barn for a talk from Simon Burvill, Founder and CEO of Gaze Burvill and also a Trustee of Woodland Heritage, where he will discuss the importance of the work undertaken by Woodland Heritage and how this affects furniture making in the UK. He will also discuss how, as a B Corp, consideration of our environmental impact in everything we do is at the heart of Gaze Burvill and is one of the founding core values.

Tickets are £10 each and all money is donated to Woodland Heritage.

At 2pm the same day Gaze Burvill will be holding their annual Tread for Trees and Timber, a 5k or 10k run or walk around the glorious countryside surrounding their workshops to raise funds for Woodland Heritage. If you would like to stay after the open morning you are welcome to bring lunch to eat in the courtyard garden (or Flint Barn if the weather is so inclined!) and join us for the run / walk in the afternoon. The event is free to enter however we suggest a contribution via Gaze Burvill’s Just Giving page – or if you don’t fancy taking part you can support those who are by donating! Please register for Tread for Trees and Timber here.
