As you come down the farm lane I hope that you can escape from the real world, meet new friends, learn or develop a new skill and eat some seriously good local and Organic (where possible) food. Or simply just relax over a Coffee whilst pondering a new project. Cowslip is hopefully a big, friendly family eager to please and welcome customers from all over the world.

Whether coming for a Coffee, class, workshop, wedding, family party or just a browse in our extensive shop - we are all here to help and make your visit happy.

Our Shop Report

The Cowslip shop is a treasure trove of top quality fabrics including Moda, Rowan/Kaffe Fasset, Fossil Fern and Bali Batiks, flannel, plaids and checks and even boiled wool, plus an ever increasing range of linens from 80/20% to lovely Irish Dublin Linen or Shabby Chic. We are always pleased to help with choosing fabric or working out amounts.

Our Cafe Report

Just to say thank you to everyone who has supported us so well in the cafe, all the staff have tried so hard to embrace the new normal. Sitting outside is so lovely and the view is tremendous, we have tables available inside the caf now and a lovely marquee also. Sunday roast is back on the menu and we also now have Friday Night Suppers.

Workshops Report

We offer a wide variety of workshops over 1-2 days to suit all abilities and tastes. Our student groups are usually kept to a small number (depending on the space required) and we like to be friendly and informal. Should a workshop be full we will do our very best to reschedule an extra date. We hope that you enjoy browsing our list and find something to inspire you to start a new project and make new friends!

I have just returned from the Textile Illustration course with Kat Rowe and it has really inspired me. I can't wait to finish the piece I started today. The workshop location and facilities are also wonderful too. I can't wait to visit again. Thank you for a great day

Love it here. Beautiful views and rustic surroundings. Patchwork exhibition made it not so bad as I had had to miss the Festival of Quilts this year. Cafe lovely. Felt very relaxed after visit.

A wonderful setting to have lunch. The views from the garden are amazing, but the whole cafe & garden is magical. The homemade quiche was delicious & an amazing luxury hot chocolate. Took scones to take away for later & the wide choice of cakes made the decision difficult! The staff were friendly & welcoming.
