Come and help us build Yarn’s Samhain labyrinth. 🌀

As the harvest season gives way to winter, we’re gathering with Taryn McHenry to create something together: a winding path for moments of stillness and reflection.

A labyrinth has a single route leading into its centre and out again. Taryn will share the thinking behind the design before we build and open ours together, and we'll finish the evening with tea and cake.

You’re also welcome to bring along stones, crystals or evergreen foliage to add to the labyrinth.

Friday 13 November · 7–9pm

For those who love their winter wreaths a little wilder 🌲

Join us for an afternoon of festive making, using seasonal treasures like dried seed pods, pine cones, thistles and foliage to create a wreath with a more wild, gathered feel. You’ll work with a reusable straw base, so it can be brought out again for future seasons.

There’ll be mulled w**e and Christmas music as a cosy welcome to the festive period.✨

We’re building a labyrinth at Yarn this November and you’re invited to be part of it.

A labyrinth is a single winding path that leads to a centre and back out. You follow the route, pause at the centre and retrace your steps. Take time to slow down, notice your thoughts and see what comes up along the way.

From 13–15 November, Taryn McHenry joins us for a weekend inspired by Samhain, reflection and the passage into winter. There are three ways to take part:

🌀 Help Build the Samhain Labyrinth: 13 November, 7–9pm
Join Taryn for an introduction to labyrinths, then help create the path we’ll share throughout the weekend. We’ll mark its opening together, followed by tea and cake.

🌀 Walk The Labyrinth: A Journey to the Centre: 14 & 15 November
Drop in to walk the labyrinth. During the day, Ria and Claudia will offer a live drumming experience. On Sunday, Ginny will join us for a sound bath with crystal and Tibetan singing bowls.

🌀 The Labyrinth: Closing Ceremony with Elder: 15 November, 3–6 pm
An afternoon of Elderflower tea, guided drum meditation and a Samhain fire ritual. Time to reflect on what you’re ready to let go of, before we close with tea and cake.

Find full details and booking information on our website.
