Food for the birds - bird feeder workshop

Reserve a spot

Join Deeside Willow and weave your very own bird feeders.

Make your own natural bird feeders using willow grown on the edge of the Cairngorms National Park. Learn basic weaving skills whilst creating a practical product to welcome birds into your garden! These attractive, multi-functional crafts can also be used in the kitchen to hold garlic, onions, fruits or dried flowers.

The workshop is about enjoyment and trying your hand at something new. Everyone is welcome, no matter your experience or ability.

  • Minimum age 13+ years (under 16s must be accompanied by an adult, also on a bookable ticket).
  • Light refreshments (tea, coffee, water, juice, biscuits) will be provided at the hall.

If you have any questions or require assistance to book a place on this workshop, please phone 01479 873535.

Bookings close at 10pm on Wednesday 9 September 2026.
