Experience Vouchers
Looking for an experience with a difference? Need an unusual gift?
Why not give someone a voucher to try their hand at being a Blacksmith or to learn to operate a Beam Engine? They might even wish to have a go at Wood Turning.
A warm welcome awaits and refreshments can be purchased from the Tea Room when open.
The booking must be arranged in advance to suit availability but can usually be fixed for a Wednesday (blacksmithing) or a steaming Sunday (beam engine). Days for wood turning sessions depend on the availability of volunteers.
Please do not enquire about other days than advertised.
