Immerse yourself in nature and discover our ancestors’ most versatile little plant, used in clothing, cooking, and healing.

? Discover the history, folklore, and uses of a plant commonly dismissed as a W**d
? Forage for wild-growing nettles around Butser, extract their fibres, and learn how to turn them into string
? Learn to use a drop spindle to spin thread, and see how spinning plant fibre is different from sheep fleece
☀️ Set in the unique surroundings of Butser Ancient Farm’s historic buildings
?️ Tickets £75
