This group endeavour to bring the ways of the Anglo Saxon era to life and will be showing tablet weaving, loom weaving, spinning, dying and wool production in and around our Saxon Halls.

All activities are being planned in a Covid secure way, and we will be limiting numbers on site in order to comply with social distancing and give the best experience for all.
