Darfield Museum and Darfield All Saints are both taking part in Heritage Open Days starting next weekend.
Darfield All Saints 12-13 Sept - "Travel with us through the centuries as you encounter the 8th Century carved dragon stone, the 15th Century stone entrance porch, our 17th Century carved wooden pews, our 19th and 20th Century stained-glass windows and much, much more. Then follow our Connections and Collisions displays."
Refreshments are available. There is a KidZone with crafts and activities and quests for the children. Guided tours of the church are available on request and there will be guided tours up the tower to see the bells and bellringing at set times.
Darfield Museum - 'Creative Business Women of Darfield' - 12, 16, 19 Sept
"We look at three creative and inspirational business women of Darfield:
Elizabeth Craven - Dance School Proprietor who gave confidence to many young girls
Denise Moody - Hair Stylist who created employment and increased self-esteem to the ladies of Darfield
Mrs Redmayne and the 'Palace of Dreams' - The Empire Cinema Darfield which closed on 29th December 1956 after 42 years."
These women affected the lives of many in the village and local area, and we explore stories about their businesses and hear from those who remember them.
This will be a display within the museum. There is no need to book though if you are a larger group, please let us know so we can make sure you can be catered for.
