Events at Acton Scott Historic Working Farm

Visitors at Acton Scott Historic Working Farm

There are daily demonstrations giving a flavour of farm life at the turn of the 20th century. The Farm Bailiff and the Bailiff's Wife will be around the farm yard and cottage carrying out everyday tasks and interpreting Victorian farm life.

Each week we have visits from:

  • the Blacksmith (Tuesdays)
  • the Wheelwright (Wednesdays and Fridays)
  • the Farrier (Thursdays)

Throughout the season there are occasional visits from other craft demonstrators including:

  • the Bodger at the Pole lathe
  • the Stickmaker
  • the Basket maker
  • the Potter
  • the Dairymaid

To avoid disappointment, if you are hoping to see a particular craft demonstration on the day of your visit, please call in advance to check the programme.

Events in 2012

The 2012 programme includes a number of 'old favourites' alongside some new wxciting events for this season.

So why not buy a season ticket which provides excellent value at £20.50 for an adult and £12.75 for children age 5 and over, giving you entry to the far throughout the open season. For further details on how to purchase a season ticket, for yourself or as a gift, please contact Acton Scott Historic Working Farm on 01694 781307.
