Is this for me?

This is for anyone interested in woodwork or just looking to contribute to building the Luton Henge.

Info

As part of Luton Henge — a bold reimagining of ancient gathering places — we’re inviting you to roll up your sleeves and shape history with your hands. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll help construct wooden benches from locally donated natural materials, creating the seating for the Henge’s grand unveiling in summer 2025.

Led by artist, Matthew Rosier, and carpenter and environmental designer, Jack Cardno, you’ll gain practical skills while contributing to a meaningful public space rooted in art, nature, and community.

This is more than just a workshop. It’s your chance to be part of something monumental, something truly Lutonian — a structure built by many, for many, to last the test of time.

Help build a legacy – join the Luton Henge Bench-Making Workshop.

Sign up now. Spaces are limited.

Is any previous experience required?

No, this workshop is for participants with any range of experience with wood working, from beginner upwards. Participants will be guided by an expert tutor throughout.

What should I wear?

Wear clothing you are happy to get dirty.

Will it be dangerous?

No, participants will not be required to use hazardous machinery or power tools, but will get the opportunity to do some flame charring as a method of preserving the timber benches. All hand tools will be used under the guidance of an expert tutor.
