Hand made and recycled…carrying the lifestyle throughout our site

Hazel Swan posted this on 06th Feb 2012

Here at Bivouac we are passionate about creating items out of natural materials, recycling unused items and up-cycling previously loved items, giving them a new lease of life…

We love all things luxurious and rustic, sustainable and thoughtful.

At Bivouac, we love using our local materials to make furniture and a variety of items for around the site.  Our offering here in North Yorkshire creates a unique experience for our guests, with each one of our shacks and yurts having their own character and personality.  We have amongst our team some really experienced and creative joiners, making bespoke individual hand crafted items for all areas on site.

Tony, a local joiner, has been working with us for a few months now doing things ranging from restoring pieces of furniture to hand crafting some unique pieces to go in our barns and shacks.  When Tony is not working for us, he works at ‘Jenny Ruth’, a local productive workshop where adults with learning disabilities gain skills, confidence and happiness through joinery and various other skills.

Martin and his dog Cassie have recently joined our team here on site.  Martin is a bespoke joiner who makes some beautiful hand crafted pieces of furniture.  He is crafting beds, ladders, window sills and other unique items around the site, using materials he has sourced locally.  Our beds in the yurts have been specifically designed for the environment and space we have here at Bivouac

Come and visit us from April onwards and see some of the wonderful hand crafted items they have made!
