- Exhibition
- Workshops
- Drop-in sessions
- Demonstrations

There are six local groups meeting regularly in the immediate area; Borders based at Bowden near St Boswells, Etal, Lucker, Hepple near Rothbury, Newton near Corbridge and Wolsingham in Weardale Co. Durham.
The group recently collaborated with us on our willow sculpture project. These sculptures were made by Peregrini volunteers under the guidance of basketry member Anna Turnbull as well as Alan Winow whose skills showed people how to weave baskets. Have a look at the images to see the amazing work.
