R 2600 per person.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a folding camp chair with a leather seat, using reclaimed wood from Babylonstoren Farm. Limited to four participants due to the rarity of the wood, sourced from fallen trees on the farm. An opportunity like this comes along only when nature allows. Experience the scent and grain of wood in its most authentic form.
Held at the Workshop at Soetmelksvlei, a scenic working farmyard set in the late 1800s. The price includes farm entry, shuttle rides, refreshments, a hearty farm-style lunch in the Old Stables Restaurant, plus a beautifully crafted folding camp chair to take home.
