Heavenly Hardanger Norway 14th -21st April 2012
Norway 14th -21st April 2012 (Sorry Fully booked !)
When we visited Norway last time our planned hotel defaulted and my tour company had to find us an alternative. This is how we were able to stay at the Ullensvang Hotel and why we cannot go back to Norway and stay anywhere else! The hotel is privately run by four generations of the Utne family and you have to be there to know what I mean.The trip is a bit more complicated this time as we can no longer use the
ferry to Bergen but we have all sorts of plans for you......
We have put together a truly lovely trip to Hardanger including three nights stay at the 5star+Ullensvang Hotel (my favourite hotel in the world). Many of you who joined us for the last trip will know that this hotel was a revelation! We have three nights at this lovely site with views across the Hardanger fjord and the chance to sample the sumptuous Hardanger buffet three nights running....

Jane Greenoff's Linen Classes at Pinks Barn
My linen classes are intended for all skill levels and abilities, with
the projects selected to develop existing skills and also perhaps to
learn new ones. Classes include hemstitching and Hardanger and I always
offer a choice of fabrics with your eyesight in mind. As with all our
CSG events, my classes are not intended to be competitive and everyone
has chance to work at their own speed. All classes are limited to ten
people and are very informal. All you need to bring is the correct
glasses and a sense of humour!
Prices are per person and include coffee, tea and biscuits, light lunch
with wine, all materials and tuition. The fee is taken in full when you
reserve a place.We can supply a list of B&B venues if you would like to make a weekend
of it!
Costs: Member £70.00 Non-Member £85.00
