Calverley: Calverley Old Hall Cultural Craft Exchange

In advance of refugee week, and in partnership with Migration Yorkshire, we are pleased to welcome six talented craftspeople to Calverley Old Hall to demonstrate a range of traditional craft skills. The event will include crafts and crafters from Japan, Hong Kong, and even the UNESCO listed Intangible Heritage craft of Ukrainian Petrykivka painting.

The six demonstrators will each share their own craft, with the opportunity to have a chat, learn more about the crafts and get hands on to have a go yourself.

The event is free of charge, and will also be a chance to learn a bit about Calverley Old Hall, and the traditional craft skills we have been using on site as part of the current restoration project by the Landmark Trust.

Drop in anytime after 11am – last admission will be 1.45pm, and the event will close at 2pm.

Whilst booking is not essential we would ask that you register for the event via Eventbrite so that we can provide you with updates regarding the event and manage capacities. Priority will be given to those who have pre-registered.

Please note: In exceptional circumstances you may be asked to wait a few moments if maximum building capacity is reached.
