We’re inviting all of Devon’s start-ups, entrepreneurs and businesses to a special team-building workshop that brings the joy of being outdoors to the boardroom.

In this session, Survival Instructor Robin Fox will help individuals and entrepreneurs to connect with one another through the ancient art of cordage. Throughout the workshop, Robin will teach you the history of cordage and assist you as you use his provided materials to create a unique piece of jewellery in groups or pairs.
