Day Services
Thornage Hall offers a range of Day Services in traditional arts and craft and land based activities. We run our day services like a work place, you are expected to arrive on time for workshops and work hard and follow instruction of the workshop leader.
Everyone has an individual skills based assessment for each workplace, and this can be used as evidence of the skills you have learned which you can take with you if you want to move on to work or voluntary placements.
