Traditional Crafts
18 & 19 September |

Visit the lace maker, wheelwright and blacksmith this weekend and enjoy opportunities to try out some of the crafts on display. Before the coming of machines and the Industrial Revolution, many local families practised these rural crafts as a way of life. The straw plaiter in her cottage, the wood worker and the brick maker at Wood End will help you to learn the crafts that have shaped the history of the Chilterns.
Activities may be subject to change.
