Yorkshire Heritage Skills Fair

[johnandrew]

I hope the following is within the rules of the forum.

The National Heritage Training Academy (NHTA) and the National Trust are putting on the following event at Nostell Priory near Wakefield.

Yorkshire Heritage Skills Fair
Friday 10, Saturday 11, Sunday 12 June, 10am-5pm
Free Event.
Nostell Priory and Parkland
Doncaster Road
Wakefield

For some reason neither the NHTA nor the National Trust seem to have this info on their web sites, but I have a flyer if anyone wishes me to forward it to them, but I quote most of it below.

Come and meet the traditional crafts people and contractors in your region. See their work in action and try your hand at new skills, including

Stone Masonry
Lime slaking and pointing
Plastering
Carpentry
Marbling
Sign writing
and many more

Regards

John
