Britain's What's On Event Guide
Free Open Day + Sherbourne String Quartet
Come and enjoy a Free Open Day at The Weaver’s House.
Step back in time and see how John Croke, a Coventry narrow-loom weaver, and his family lived and worked in the 1540s. Our beautifully restored historic building features a full-size replica of a medieval loom in the upstairs ‘solar’ room. Wander through our working medieval garden, and discover plants used for food, flavouring, medicine, and household purposes. Enjoy fascinating talks about the daily life of a weaver in medieval times and the history of the building. You might even catch some weaving and spinning demonstrations during your visit!
Don’t forget to treat yourself to some tea, coffee, and homemade cakes served on Open Days.
For this event we will be joined by special guests Sherbourne String Quartet.
