Ironworks Villagers’ Activities

Join living history with the inhabitants of the Ironworks! You may have wondered how bread was baked in a woodfired oven, how fabric was made for clothes or how letters were written with inc pens earlier in days gone by? The Ironwork Villagers’ Activities offer an experience and opportunity to try out different traditional chores and hand skills. Participating is easy as no advance booking is required. The chores are suitable for both children and adults and are a great way to spend time with the family.
