New Autumn and Winter Courses
Shropshire Council’s Acton Scott Historic Working Farm’s new programme of courses will run during the Autumn and Winter months.
The 15 'Traditional Rural Craft and Trade Courses' on offer from October 2009 to March 2010 will give a chance to try-out a variety of traditional skills, such as tradtional building, rural crafts, animal husbandry and cottage life - giving participants the chance to have a go at everything from butter making and hedge-laying, through to 'Greening Up Christmas' and spending a day in the life of a Victorian farmer's wife.
All the tutors employed to run the courses are experts in their field, some earning their living through the everyday practice of their craft, while others are resident interpreters and demonstrators on the farm.
For more information about the courses, download the new brochure.
