Driftwood Workshop
Begin your day in the warm and welcoming driftwood workshop of Dan Wakeman, the artist behind I Made This 76.
Nestled in the heart of West Coker, Dan’s workshop is a haven for creativity, where you can craft your own unique piece of driftwood art using materials he has lovingly collected from local beaches.
With a roaring wood burner, the scent of hot chocolate in the air, and Dan’s expert guidance, this hands-on experience is both relaxing and rewarding. Plus you will leave with your own Driftwood creation.
Lunch or Dinner
After a creative morning or afternoon, head over to The New Inn, a cosy Hamstone pub in the heart of West Coker.
This 17th-century inn is known for its seasonal, locally sourced menu, featuring hearty dishes with a modern twist.
Whether you choose a long, leisurely lunch or an indulgent dinner, expect farm-to-table ingredients, Somerset cider, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. It’s the perfect place to unwind and savour the best of West Country cuisine.
1940’s Style Stays
To complete your experience, retreat to Esme’s Escape, a luxurious Land-Girl inspired shepherd’s hut with a private hot tub, offering a unique and nostalgic glamping experience. Nestled in the picturesque village of Haselbury Plucknett in South Somerset, this award-winning hideaway is perfect for those looking to unwind in style.
Step back in time with charming 1940s-inspired interiors while enjoying the outside hot tub style bath in amongst the apple trees.
