Explore Rock Workshops at Brayshaw Heritage Park

Marvellous Rock and Mineral Workshops for All Ages

Outdoorsy and curious? Dive into the fascinating world of rocks, minerals, and fossils with the Rock and Mineral Club - Marlborough! Our engaging workshops, held every Sunday from 9am to 4pm, offer a hands-on experience for everyone from budding young collectors aged 6 and up to seasoned enthusiasts. Hosted at our clubrooms in Brayshaw Heritage Park, Redwoodtown, Blenheim, these sessions run for a hearty 420 minutes of creativity and learning. Best of all, participation is open to the public, not just members, and there’s no entry fee mentioned, making it an accessible activity for all.

At these workshops, you’ll learn the art of carving and crafting, turning raw stones into stunning jewellery and ornaments. It’s a perfect opportunity to connect with fellow 'Rock Hounders' who share your passion for geology. Whether you’re a child eager to explore or an adult looking for a unique hobby, our teaching sessions cater to all skill levels across various age groups, from 5-12 to 65+. The community vibe is strong here, fostering friendships and shared discoveries as you unearth hidden talents together.

Why not make Sundays special by joining us? Beyond the technical skills, these workshops are about building a sense of belonging in Marlborough’s vibrant hobbyist scene. Bring your enthusiasm—no prior experience or equipment is required. Just show up ready to create, chat, and celebrate the wonders of the earth with like-minded collectors and friends.
