A great opportunity to step back in time and discover the fascinating world of traditional cottage weaving at our interactive Family Day. Free entry, no need to book. Pop in any time between 1.00pm-4.30pm.

Meet skilled weavers Ruth and Anita who continue this ancient craft today, and enjoy ongoing live demonstrations of tabletop loom weaving and the process of spinning wool into yarn. Explore the history of cottage weaving in the Holme Valley through informative displays and get hands-on with our paper weaving activity table or have a go at peg loom weaving with Lucy and find out more about her flock of Woodland sheep. Lucy will also have some sheep's milk products for sale.

With refreshments available and activities for all ages, it's the perfect introduction to traditional crafts and local heritage for the whole family.
