A TWO-day carpentry course for women is coming to Stover Country Park in the new year.

Touchwood Southwest, an award-winning carpentry and joinery company based in Moretonhampstead, will be bringing its popular course to Stover’s new community workshop in January.

With all materials included, the starter course is ideal for those with no previous experience, but it also caters to those wanting to build o their existing skills.

The course covers the basic principles that are fundamental to all carpentry and joinery work, including learning to make and use a 'bridle' joint, which is one of a variety of wood working joints.

The course takes place across Monday, January 19 and Tuesday, January 20, from 10am to 4pm.
