Brilliant Building at the Almonry

Have you ever wondered how old buildings were built and who built them? Our team of historic building craftspeople will be on site demonstrating the skills used to build these Medieval Masterpieces.

There will be demonstrations of hand slate making and laying, hot lime mixing, wattle and Daub, plastering and stonemasonry. You can even make a roofing marking stick (you'll have to come along to find out more!)

There'll be guided tours around the building at 11am, 1.30 and 3pm, showing the work we are carrying out to save this fantastic building and we'll be pointing out a few hidden architectural gems along the way.
