Each are happy to talk about their craft and to take commissions.
The grounds around the Court are also full of interest. Behind the house are the peaceful walled Rose Garden and Organic Kitchen Garden, the latter being a treasure-trove of useful tips and ideas on wildlife-friendly gardening and successful vegetable-growing. Walks and ancient paths lead from the Court all around the estate and these are well-signposted; walking & cycling leaflets are also available inside Cockington Court.
Cockington Court Craft Centre is open all year round and entry is free of charge.
