Old House Handbook

For anyone who owns or lives in an old house, this is the definitive guide. Filled with expert advice, practical tips, and sustainability guidance, it’s the perfect resource to help care for and preserve any historic home – from a medieval cottage to an Edwardian terrace.

£35 hardback.

One-day pargeting course

For those who love learning something new, gift this unique and memorable experience. On this popular one-day course, discover the history of pargeting - a centuries old technique creating decorative patterns using plaster - and create a pargeted panel to take home. No experience needed but hurry, spaces are limited and this course sells out so book early! For a little extra excitement, why not add our Pargeting DVD to open on the day? 

£199, taking place on Saturday 7 June 2025, 9am-5pm.

An introduction to plain lime plastering

For homeowners and DIY lovers, this hands-on, two-day introduction to lime plastering is the perfect, practical gift experience. They'll gain all the skills they need to tackle lime plaster repairs at home, learning expert techniques and gaining newfound confidence. No prior experience is needed. This course has limited spaces and often sells out, book early so you don't miss out!

£499, taking place Friday 25 – Saturday 26 April 2025.

SPAB membership

For those that love old buildings, give the gift of a SPAB membership. Along with a beautiful welcome pack, they'll get access to online resources, events, our quarterly SPAB magazine and help us protect historic buildings. Just the thing for anyone who wants to make a real difference and is passionate about preserving history.
