Woodworking workshops near Crickhowell in Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park

Toolboxtan Woodworking Workshops offer hands-on creative experiences in Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park, based near Llangattock and Crickhowell on the edge of the Black Mountains. Led by skilled maker Tan, these small-group workshops give visitors the chance to learn traditional woodworking techniques while creating something meaningful in a relaxed countryside setting.

Set within the grounds of Ty’r Philip Evan Farm, the workshops focus on working with reclaimed and upcycled materials, encouraging a slower, more mindful approach to making. Whether you’re joining a half-day introduction or a more in-depth session, the experience is practical, engaging and rooted in creativity, with guidance tailored to beginners as well as those with some experience.

These workshops are ideal for couples, solo travellers and anyone looking to try something different during their visit. They appeal to those interested in craft, creativity and hands-on learning, as well as visitors seeking a wellbeing-focused experience that connects them to place and process.

Located close to Crickhowell and the wider Black Mountains, the workshops can be combined with a stay at nearby accommodation including Ty’r Philip Evan Farm or the off-grid Caban Tarren, creating a more immersive experience in the National Park.
