Education

Highgrove Traditional Crafts is a collection of training programmes in heritage and craft skills delivered by The Prince’s Foundation on the Highgrove estate in Gloucestershire. It is based in the estate’s Barley Court, a newly-restored 17th-Century Cotswolds farmhouse that contains textile studios, and Street Farm, a series of bespoke workshops that cater for furniture-making as well as stonemasonry and related crafts.

The focus of the training programmes is to support industry through skills provision and to offer workshops for beginners, through to advanced learners and community-focused activities.

If you have any general enquiries, please email us at highgrove@princes-foundation.org.
