The sheep get their yearly 'haircuts' this weekend.

Farmers shear the sheep, and costumed historians demonstrate the entire wool textile process, from scouring and carding the wool to spinning, and then knitting the hand-spun wool yarn.

Visitors can even try their skill at hand-carding the wool.

Learn about different Wools - Meet alpacas and llamas to learn about wool from different animals.

Meet the other animals at the village - lambs, chickens, cows and oxen, and watch a host of daily demonstrations, including musket firing, hearth cooking, printing, coopering, blacksmithing, shoe-making and launching toy hot air balloons.

Join us in knitting (or crocheting) scarves for deployed soldiers.

Help to add a few rows to scarves already in progress.
