Local school children have been encouraged to learn about this wonderful era and have been asked to dress accordingly for that time. Happening history - are a couple who invite the children to play with replica toys and games, so do look out for them. 

The Hurdy -gurdy and the Hammer Dolcimer will be playing - what is that I hear you ask, well come and find out.
