On the day, you’ll be able to see heritage craft skills in action through a series of demonstrations including glassmaking, weaving, blacksmithing, woodturning, edge tool grinding and more.
You’ll also have the chance to delve into the history of the site with guided tours from our team of volunteers – exploring all things Abbeydale, from waterwheels and workers to scythe-making and the story of the site.
Then have a go at rag rug making and paper weaving in our fun family activity, and take a trail to explore the Hamlet further!
Plus, there will be performances to enjoy, games to play, and more!

You’re welcome to come at any point during the day, but as it’s a small site, we’re asking people to pre-book tickets so that we can handle visitor numbers. Numbers are particularly limited on the guided tours, so please book these in advance through Eventbrite – just scroll down on the ticket page to add them to your order. Each tour lasts around 20 minutes.
