Festival Walk 8. The Wold Rangers Way is a challenging 44-miles walk from Driffield out over the Wolds passing through dry valleys and historic Wolds villages. It is a circular trail taking place over a wide mixture of made-up footpaths, green lanes and tracks (with a few short road sections). We've guided this walk many times during the day and overnight but always as it was designed - in a clockwise direction. However, this time we have decided to tackle it backwards (counter-clockwise), starting from Driffield and heading out along Long Lane tpowards Danes Graves and onwards from there. It should be interesting! This walk should take approximately between 14 and 18 hours to complete depending on the conditions, walking pace of the group and the number of stops made. T he £17.50 pp entry fee goes towards the event running costs and the fantastic support provided, plus your WRW completion medal with any surplus going to the Wold Rangers Way Charity. Volunteers provide support at checkpoints along the route and take your drop-back of spare kit along the way (more details below). Drinks, snacks and awater bottle refills are also provided.

Suitable for adults and accompanied children - each participant must purchase a ticket to take part. All materials for each process are provided so you don't have to bring anything other than yourself & potentially an apron/large shirt if you want to keep your clothes clean - Jesmonite washes out in the washing machine but it can be a messy process & if you have plans after the work shop you may want to avoid the temporary marks! Best of all, because Jesmonite is quick to set, you will be able to take your creations home with you at the end of the workshop!

If you have any queries or concerns, please contact us at objectifyjesmonite@gmail.com, we will get back to you swiftly & do our best to respond in depth. WHAT IS JESMONITE? Jesmonite is a non-toxic, eco-friendly, water-based resin used to create many kinds of decorative homeware, art, furniture & more! It comes as a two part separated mix of powder & liquid which at 1-2.5 ratio is mixed together to form a milky mixture. Naturally Jesmonite has an off white colour to it, so coloured pigments are used to give tone & hue to the mixture which is then poured into silicone moulds, where it cures & becomes a beautifully, unique item!

My events are small-scale and my costs and time invested remain the same whether the workshop is full or not.

I want try to strike a balance between being fair to participants, and not selling myself short or ending up making a financial loss. That’s why I don’t refund tickets within 14 days of an event, as it’s very unlikely I will be able to resell the ticket at short notice.
