The Museum has a 50-year history of presenting unusual, rare and vanishing craft skills to visitors. Many skills shown during the early days of the Museum have now died out with the volunteers that showed them. Our vanishing skills volunteers often work at weekends, presenting activities from corn dolly making, hop picking (we grow the hops first) traditional brewing, rag rugging, wheelwrighting, blacksmithing to name but a few! If you have a special or rare skill that you would like to show to visitors, teach others or perhaps have visitors get hands on and have a go, we would love to hear from you. We have a future ambition to set up and deliver adult courses in a wide range of skills-based subjects, we are not there yet, but with your help, passion and enthusiasm we could be!
