Early Medieval Textiles - Beginner's Course (Part 1)

Join us at the Braunstone West Social Centre on April 8, 2026 at 7:45 PM for a fun and relaxed introduction to early medieval textiles.

This course is perfect for beginners wanting to explore historic fibre techniques, or fabric nerds who would like a friendly environment to work on textile crafts.

The first part of our course, starting on the 8th April and reoccuring weekly until 29th April, covers the production of yarn, from combing the fleece to the art of spinning using the drop-spindle.

The session will be led by our fibre expert Hrefna (also known as Julie) and other members of the society. The session will operate from our 'Living History Room' while our regular re-enactment training is taking place in the main hall.

Tea and Coffee available (and free!).

Please use the rear car park.
