If you're looking for something a little different out of your mini-breaks, come along to this activity holiday in Stirling, which combines a five-night stay in a beautiful manor house with a one-of-a-kind dollmaking course.

Hosted by Angela, an experienced and friendly tutor, you'll learn all the skills necessary to make a gorgeous cloth doll of your own design. Over the course of four days, you'll learn each step to designing and making your doll, from initial sketches and inspiration to the final process of making a unique companion you can cherish for life. Don't worry if this is your first time making a doll, as Angela will be on hand throughout the week to give you tips and advice to really bring your creation to life. Plus, she'll bring samples of her own work to give you inspiration — ideal if you hit a creative block!
