The Yurt @ Killhope

Inside the yurt at Killhope

The Yurt @ Killhope is a 24ft diameter amazingly creative space that can be hired for meetings, events and overnight accommodation. You can also participate in one of our creative workshops.

If you've ever wanted to sleep under the starry sky but also like your home comforts then come to the yurt and make your dreams come true!

The yurt is playing host to a fabulous selection of workshops to help you get in touch with your creative side. So far this year we've had a Photography course, Herbal Medicine, Crystal Healing, Bag Making and Willow Weaving. These workshops were really successful and you can read some of the feedback below.

 'Excellent staff, beautiful location and a friendly atmosphere'

'Excellent day with excellent tuition, when's the next one?'

'Very pleasant day and I suprised myself with my ability'
