Huge thanks to everyone who came to support us this weekend.

We’ve had a great time telling the story of the furnace and showcasing the archaeology. Your help raising charitable funds means we can carry on preserving this place for future generations; every beer you drank, cake munched and your attempts at Aunt Sally, all made direct contributions.

Visitors, volunteers, exhibitors - a huge team effort. Many thanks indeed.

If you took any photos, we’d love to see them. You can send a link to: [email protected]

Come meet our blacksmith, Joe. He’ll be making Saxon tools today in demonstrations.

13/09/2025

We’re open tomorrow from 10:30.

Your chance to experience living history, witness cannon firing and an opportunity to learn about Fernhurst’s hidden history.

Exclusive to this weekend: once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see a significant recent discovery, before it’s buried again.

Join us in the field (and the woods) for a roast lamb lunch, bacon sandwiches, veggie food options and cake. Our woodland pub will be open all day (beer from Langham’s).

See you tomorrow.

We’ve had a smashing day in the field… hewing, smelting, bodging, den-making, and hosting a civil war skirmish

Thank you to the wonderful crowd who visited us.

We’re doing it all again tomorrow, with the addition of a blacksmith too.

Looking forward to seeing more visitors tomorrow.
