Scythe Courses
& Meetings at Skyegrove
Each Year a range of several courses & meetings are hosted at Skyegrove both for beginners and the more experienced
A Scything Renaissance
In the UK there is a ‘scything renaissance’ taking place. People are rediscovering the many benefits of managing the land with this traditional tool.
No more droning of strimmers and fume-filled air. You will tune into the silence, the sound of the birds and the calm rhythm of a Tai-Chi like movement as your blade swishes gently and efficiently through the grass, leaving neat swathes of mowings ready to gather. Mowing will become a simple pleasure rather than a chore.
We are running Scything courses for Beginners and Improvers. We can also bring our teaching equipment to your own location and deliver courses to suit either individuals, or groups.

Testimonial
Adrian and I have been looking forward to the day since booking it, and both our expectations were surpassed. You said that we would get hooked on scything, and we are, for sure!
Personally I can not see how you could better the day, both your teaching and instruction was thorough and concise. With practical experience on a range of different conditions of “mowing”. I came away from the course full with the confidence to go out immediately to get started.”
