About this Event
Go back in time at Historical Village, where the ethos of ‘waste not, want not’ governed every aspect of life.
Even the smallest scraps of fabric were recycled into colourful rugs to cushion feet on chilly hardwood floors. With a custom guide, have a go at contributing to a rag rug or make a small trivet of your own, and discover this creative way to reuse old clothing and textiles!
