On Saturday evening Oakenwood includes its course on how to make Incense, where participants can make their own particular incense, using all six senses to create their own masterpiece, and sample them as we relax around our campfire.

The course is based mostly on the practical, with the opportunity to try out the various methods demonstrated and to participate fully in the activities offered.
