Summer 2024 - Events

In conjunction with their 30th Anniversary Exhibition which runs until the 11th May, members of the Braid Society will be demonstrating their craft at the museum on 11 May.  Demonstration days are free.

There will also be a Try Braiding workshop on 5 May.  This will cost £25 for the full day, and £12.50 for half a day.   Book here

This will be a great opportunity to see Braiders in action.

We are excited about a French film company who are planning to visit the museum on 29 May. They will film Victoria weaving on one of our looms, and you will be able to see her put the warp onto the loom in the week prior to the filming.  Date yet to be confirmed.
