Historic Light Weekend: Fire & Light
6th - 7 November 2021, 10:30-16:00
Today we can come home to a house that can often be heated quickly, with the means to cook rapidly and light at the flick of a switch. A walk through the Museum during this weekend will give a better idea of how homes in the past were lit and heated, the resource needed for this and what this meant for everyday life. With demonstrations of lighting a fire with a flint and steel, talks on woodland management and access as well, as candles and efficient cooking over an open fire.
