    Reopened for 2022!

    At long last the first Open Day for 2022 arrived, and what a fantastic day it was. We were blessed with a sunny, clear day with which to appreciate the blossoming garden (but cool enough to enjoy the hot drinks and cake which we’ve welcomed back for 2022!).

    Enthusiastic visitors arrived a steady pace throughout the day and we were delighted that this included people who had been waiting for the opportunity to visit, were finally able to be welcomed. The story of our unique piece of medieval history has been spreading, as visitors came down from Manchester specifically to visit, and another visitor was from Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. Our knowledgeable guides were on hand to give free tours of the house including the full size replica loom. We were also pleased to be joined by new volunteers who signed up at our recent volunteer event. If you are interested, we’d love to hear from you.

    Thanks to our visitors for some lovely feedback including:

    “Brilliant speakers, great fun going upstairs!”
    “Thank you to the guides for a fascinating tour”
    “Superb. Excellent talk by Maureen and lovely welcome by Audrey”
    “Had a lovely visit, so interesting. Met some lovely people. Kev was so informative and very kind”

    The next free Open Day is Saturday 7 May from 10am until 4pm.

    The Weaver’s House team are preparing for the upcoming season of Open Days. As part of this, there is a special volunteers’ event on Saturday 26 March.

    This will be a casual get-together of existing volunteers who will be ‘waking up the house’ and is a great opportunity for anyone wondering what it’s all about to drop in and have a chat and some cake!

    There’s various opportunities varying from leading tours of the house and garden, greeting visitors, gardening and selling merchandise. At the moment we especially need volunteers for our tea-room, so that we can re-open for the coming season, serving hot drinks and cakes. No experience is required.

    The event runs from 10am until 2pm on Saturday 26th, and if you are interested you can drop our volunteers co-ordinator Tina a line on volunteers @ theweavershouse.org (please remove spaces to email).
