The exciting new programme of events, workshops and exhibitions at the Washburn Heritage Centre will run from February to May 2023.

Since the Washburn Valley became inhabited, the people of the valley have created both practical and decorative items within the landscape and in their homes.

These skills have developed from cottage crafts to industrialisation.
