We have just returned from Common Knowledge and have already booked another course. Fantastic place - amazing food, such a welcoming atmosphere, and we came home with a new skill, some beautiful turned objects and the confidence to "go it alone". Thank you, we will be back!

Had a fantastic experience at the Common Knowledge centre. Peaceful setting with well run courses. I did the furniture making and design and left after two days feeling like a really learnt something new. Made some friends along the way too

Arriving to the fire in the common room was the most welcome sight on a dark cold night in February, I immediately felt at home. I came to Common Knowledge to pick up new skills and refine existing ones but every interaction and conversation, with both staff and fellow classmates, was equally as enriching as everything I learned in the workshop. The food was wholesome, deeply nourishing and delicious and the relaxed ambience made it very easy to chat and meet lots of interesting people.

I loved the philosophy and atmosphere that ran through the course, the welcome and engagement with the staff , the place, even the food. It was genuine and thoughtfully designed, while avoiding a feeling of being judgemental in its sustainable practices, vegetarian food or about peoples' experience levels. Reminded me of the best bits of yoga retreats but without the less pleasant parts that crop up occasionally. The staff were so genuinely warm; there was no sense of any performative or jaded hospitality! They were helpful and kind to us because they are helpful and kind! Just a delightful and interesting bunch of people and a really lovely experience. Highly recommend!

I received a lovely warm welcome when I arrived late in the evening to the Common Knowledge Centre, the fire was lit, I was given a little tour of the building and everything was explained very well. I received a great recommendation of where to go for an evening meal and of course the bed was very comfortable and the room was warm and cosy, which I appreciated in the wintery weather! :) The best part was the staff - just lovely warm, kind, interesting people who seem to really love what they do. The library of both books and musical instruments and the lovely living room space really added to the atmosphere there. I would absolutely stay there again, and would recommend it to anyone taking part in a course there!

Thoroughly enjoyed doing the DIY course, I feel confident now using the tools, and the tutors were excellent. The accommodation was soo comfortable and spotlessly clean, and the food was soo tasty and healthy Genuinely lovely bunch from start to finish 👍

I would highly recommend Common Knowledge. I attended the fermentation workshop. It was hugely informative & I came away having the practical knowledge to make my own fermented foods whilst being inspired on many different levels. The environment is positive & engaging. It was everything I didn’t realise I needed & more. A wonderful reset that I can carry forward
