14th to 24th August 2025.

Port of Mentieth, Stirling.

The Hoolie is back 2025 – but it’s not like anything you’ve seen before! This year, we’re running events on two back-to-back weekends in August, with guest workshops in between. The first weekend will focus on wood-based crafts – from carving to turning – and the second weekend will feature other crafts – from blacksmithing to screenprinting. We hope it will be an extravaganza of traditional crafts, all in a woodland setting. SBC member, Hermione Toulson, will be sharing her passion for natural crafts. She will be introducing various weaving materials and techniques across her workshops.

Our Hoolie weekends are small, intimate affairs, where participants can camp onsite, have all their meals catered, learn new skills, and have a fantastic time socialising with like-minded folk. As a social enterprise, we’re committed to reconnecting people to the woodlands through heritage and traditional skills and crafts, and the Hoolie is our annual celebration.

During the weekends, you’ll get take part in 3 workshops, hang out with other crafters and trainers, share skills and ideas, and get sociable. During the week, we’ll have different focused workshops for you to attend – these will added as separate workshops for you to book.

Choose from a fully catered, part-catered or non-catered weekend ticket. All weekend tickets include camping on our site. We also have a limited number of day tickets available (these include lunch).
