Join us for a hands-on beginners’ leather crafting workshop at Soetmelksvlei, a delightful excursion hosted by Babylonstoren.

Learn the basic principles and techniques of leathercraft as you measure, cut and stitch your own leather belt, complete with buckle.

From the Babylonstoren ticket office, we will take a short shuttle ride along the picturesque slopes of Simonsberg before descending towards the historic Soetmelksvlei farmyard.

If you are crafting a belt for a loved one, remember to bring their exact measurements.

A hearty lunch will be served in the Old Stables Restaurant before guests return to Babylonstoren.
