The Flax and Fleece Project
Both flax and Norfolk Horn fleece have played an important role in Norfolk's textile past. Come and explore what these sustainable fibres mean to us in the present! Volunteers will be meeting once per month from March - October 2025 on site at Gressenhall to demonstrate the heritage skills involved in linen and wool production, talking to our visitors about the practical activities they are showcasing - from planting and processing to scutching and spinning! Activities will vary per month and are subject to volunteer availability.
Price
Included with admission.
