A day in the 18th century

Immerse yourself in the skills of yesteryear with unique demonstrations every weekend in July and August. These events offer you a rare opportunity to see, feel and hear the trades that were the heartbeat of our valleys. A lively, authentic experience accessible to all - young and old, curious and passionate.

Program for the traditional care weekend on August 22 and 23:
