How It Used to Be Done… (June - September)

Harvest time has come to an end and now is the time for crop processing – try your hand at threshing the grain, turning the horse mill or ropemaking, find out how a flax breaker was used, how grain was ground in a mill and how apples were dried without an electric fruit drier. The drier also offers the chance of tasting dried fruit chips and presents traditional local varieties of fruit. School of calligraphy. The farmyards and village green will come alive with sales stalls and a demonstration of agricultural machinery.
