- Get crafty at a grand medieval Abbey
A jam-packed ‘Summer Crafternoon’ will return to Strata Florida Abbey this July, as inspired by the spectacular range of birds that live in and around the spectacular monument.
To celebrate the site’s feathered friends, guests can try their hand at making their very own owl mask, or even painting a beautiful bird feeder for the garden. Why not bring a pair of binoculars, too, for a touch of bird-spotting?
