If you've never tried one of these weeks you may not realise how good they are. Come and help out with umpteen jobs around the house and grounds. It could be anything from gardening to preserving, from spring cleaning to decorating to sewing. And if you have particular DIY skills we may well find an outlet for them too.

We all get a real sense of achievement – working hard (up to 6 hours a day) but ‘playing hard' too with plenty of laughs and diversions. We aim to vary the jobs to suit all abilities.
