We are developing a new series of open weekends at the ATC. These “History at Work” days will focus on authentic tools, methods and materials and aim to introduce the public to the many repair, construction and maintenance tasks currently undertaken out of sight of visitors.

These days will seek to simultaneously discover and demonstrate a wide range of practical tasks from many historical periods to improve the site and its buildings.  Our volunteers and staff will be on hand to answer questions and yes - you can drink tea and eat cake while you watch!  As always, there will be elements of visitor involvement - but beware! Some of it will be smelly!
