A packed event full of reenactors, living history demonstrations and live events in our Earthouse. Plenty for all adults and children to have a go at and get involved in. Tickets to all events £10 per adult. £5 for children. Under 4's free. No dogs allowed on site due to livestock. Tickets available on the gate. Why not bring a picnic? Scrummy tea and cake available.

Dugout canoes are one of those enigmatic objects from the past that really encapsulates a place and time. For us here in Somerset, traversing the waterways and reed swamp across the Levels during the Iron Age is defined by these craft.
