Hedgelaying is a seasonal craft with training running from the start of September, through to March.

All training events are listed in our Events Calendar

Local Support Groups

In addition to the training events, many areas have an affiliated local society. These groups offer local support and access to experienced hedgelayers who are often keen to pass on their skills to newcomers and provide regular practice days.
