* TEMPORARILY CLOSED AS WE LOOK TO UPDATE WITH NEW PRODUCTS *

Woodwork Workshop
Our woodwork workshop is one of the most popular Day Services Workshops at Thornage Hall. This workshop provides our day service users the opportunity to develop their woodworking skills within a working environment, in our purpose built workshop. They are involved in all stages of the workshop – from research and design, measuring and cutting, to staining and finishing.
Each woodwork product is unique and a labour of love. We ensure that our workshop engages individuals with a range of abilities to encourage their personal development and allow their individuality to be expressed through the items they make.
Popular items from the woodwork workshop include Christmas themed reindeer, snowmen and Christmas trees, bird, bat and insect boxes, hanging bird feeders and bird tables. Because of the nature of our items (their size and weight), they are often only available to purchase and collect from our base in Thornage. If you would like to discuss arranging to courier a chosen item, please get in touch.
Please visit the front page of our online shop for a list of currently available items.

We are an independent charity providing supported living for adults with learning disabilities with the vision of creating an environmentally sustainable world where everyone can live, learn and work together in a meaningful way, regardless of ability or disability.
Thornage Hall Independent Living provides supported living accommodation in 5 houses located in the beautiful surroundings of the Thornage Hall estate.
We run a biodynamic farm which provides food for those living in our houses, as well as sales to local organic outlets. We have built on the success of the farm and have converted farm buildings into studios for our Day Services offering a range of craft, IT and artistic activity - greatly enriching the lives of those people with learning disabilities who have a thirst to develop new skills within a working environment.
