  • River Festival 2025

    River Festival 2025

    We were again invited to take part in The Sherbourne Valley Project’s River Festival and were delighted to take part. A fantastic event celebrating the river and including music, theatre, crafts and storytelling, we brought along some Tudor games as well as some weaving related items.

    We loved taking part in the event which took place at Fargo Village. It was great to see so many people taking part and celebrating the river. You can find out more about the project, including how to get involved, here. The Sherbourne Valley Project | Home

  • Celebrate the River Sherbourne at River Festival 2024

    Celebrate the River Sherbourne at River Festival 2024

    The Weaver’s House will be represented at this year’s River Festival with Warwickshire Wildlife Trust which takes place at Fargo Village for the weekend of 7th and 8th September. Weaver’s House volunteers will be there on Sunday 8th September.

    Join in with this year’s River Festival which will include guided walks, theatre, music and more. The Weaver’s House will be joining in the fun on Sunday, to represent the link to the River Sherbourne and the traditional textile industries.

    The river itself runs very close to the house itself and can be seen just a few minutes walk away where it flows under the Spon Bridge.

    Medieval Music in the Garden at August Open Day




    The next Open Day is Saturday 10th August (10am – 4pm) when the Sherbourne String Quartet will be playing a selection of medieval and baroque music at various points throughout the day.  The group’s performance will be alternated with Weaver’s House trustee Jennifer Waters playing music of the period on the recorder. This will be the final chance this year to see the ‘solar’ the upstairs part of the house containing the replica loom.

    UPDATE: 3 August – the musical element of this Open Day has been postponed.
