Over the past 50 years Butser Ancient Farm has gone through many changes, not least in its physical location in the beautiful South Downs National Park. 

Rings — iconic ancient treasures we still wear today! Join us at the farm for a full-day introduction to silversmithing under the expert tutelage of historical metalworker and replica maker Neil Burridge, and learn all the skills you need to begin your journey into the delicate and ancient art of silversmithing.

You’re all invited to join us at Bryn Eryr, our Iron Age farmstead at St Fagans, for a day of family friendly activities.

We’ll be demonstrating how people in the Iron Age made their pots, firing them in pit at Bryn Eryr and unveiling our work at the end of the day. And you can make your own pot using methods from the Bronze and Iron Age to take home with you! 

Learn techniques to hand-stitch a garment together using traditional tools like bone needles.

You’re invited to join an ancient adventure! Experience a fun-filled night at the Museum from your own home. 

Here’s the plan: 

We’re delighted to be joined by a new re-enactment group - Swords of Penda - Children of Loki – who will be bringing our Anglo Saxon buildings to life.
