Discover Traditional Skills
25 & 26 July 2026
A special weekend celebrating traditional heritage crafts.

Enjoy live demonstrations from skilled artisans, including lace-making, thatching, blacksmithing, woodturning, natural dyeing, chair making on a pole lathe, rope making, spinning, prehistoric amber jewellery crafting, net making, spoon carving, chainmail making, pottery, historic cooking, crochet, stone carving, and a wheelwright at work.

There will also be a fascinating display of 17th-century lighting and medicinal practices.

All demonstrations will take place across our 45-acre site, both outdoors and within our historic buildings. You can also explore our reconstructed High Wycombe furniture factory and Bodgers Area, and discover their importance within the Chilterns.

Please note: demonstrations are subject to change and weather conditions and may vary between the Saturday and Sunday.
