Workshops

If you’ve ever wondered how birds build their nests then what better way to learn than by building your own?

Join us at Milton’s Cottage for this free, family-friendly workshop led by Millery Design. Mixing art and ecology, we’ll use twigs, leaves, grass, moss and other materials scavenged from our garden to create a collective cosy nest you can climb into with friends and family.

We’ll also learn more about the birds in our garden, and in Milton’s poetry, with accompanying craft activities inside the museum. There’s no need to book for this drop-in workshop: just turn up at any time to join in the fun.

Through playful prompts – and with Milton’s eclectic cast of angels, demons, monsters and talking animals as muse – these after-school creative writing activities are designed to help young people improve their writing skills, express themselves, and have fun in an inspirational setting.

Taking place every term-time Monday, these informal drop-in workshops are FREE to attend with no booking required.  There is no set start or departure time, so you can attend as much (or as little) of the session as you like. Each workshop is a stand-alone session, so you can also attend as many (or as few) as you like. There will be a break during May half-term, with workshops resuming again from Monday 1st June 2026. Please note that workshops are NOT held on bank holiday Mondays.

They are ideal for young people aged 6-12, including those who love to write as well as those who need a little more encouragement.

For further information please contact us on director@miltonscottage.org or 01494 872313.
