Celebrate the ancient Festival of Imbolc with a variety of crafts and celebrations.

Imbolc, celebrated on February 1st or 2nd, marks the midpoint between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. It’s a time to celebrate the return of light and the first signs of spring. Imbolc is also known as Saint Brigid’s Day.

During your visit explore the richly decorated reconstructed Roman dining-room and the Anglo-Saxon longhall. Filled with hand crafted furniture and art, you will immerse yourself in thousands of years of heritage. There is also a reconstructed Viking ship and Iron Age roundhouse under construction.
