We are thrilled to return to Askham Hall, our favourite family-owned country house hotel, nestled in the beautiful village of Askham in the English Lake District. Just a short drive from our Appleby base, it provides a wonderfully intimate setting for five days of intensive stitching with Kate Barlow and Tracy Franklin.

Kate will teach her extraordinary Levens Hall Trinket Box (a companion kit to the Book of Psalms), recreating a historic embroidered box from the Levens Hall collection, while Tracy will lead students through her intricate 1659 Burrell Panel, faithfully recreated from an original in The Burrell Collection. Two exceptional historic projects, taught by two of the country’s leading embroidery tutors, in one of our favourite places.
