There will be lots of activities taking place throughout the day from 10am – 4pm (last admission 3.30pm), including:
- Heritage craft demonstrations, including pottery, scything, wood turning, bee keeping and dry stone walling
- Den building
- Live performances- dancing stilt walking bees and butterflies
- Live music by The Ran Tanners
