An amazing opportunity to have a go at making tiles in the medieval manner!

Visitors will have the opportunity of choosing from a selection of patterns to use in the free tile-making workshop, open for all ages to take part. But be prepared to get your hands dirty! (For a fee, visitors can have their tiles fired and glazed for collection early in 2026.)
