Full Course List

Make your holiday or short break in Northumberland complete by taking a new rural skill home as a souvenir.

There's no better way to experience the real history and heritage of the region than the hands-on know-how of a rustic craft – an integral part of the country way of life for centuries.

TRAC’s country skills courses are half or one-day events taught by experienced practitioners in a friendly, informal atmosphere. Enjoy learning again, in lovely surroundings with traditional farm house cooking in the breaks.
