Besom broom making

Make your own broom from traditionally coppiced birch and hazel on this half day course. Participants will be taught how to select ,bundle and trim birch twigs, bind them together and then attach a hazel handle to make a perfectly functional broom for everyday use.

Besom brooms have been in use for many years and do an excellent job of sweeping, but they also make for an excellent witches broomstick!
