Visit the National Trust Heritage and Rural Skills Centre for free as part of Heritage Open Days.
Craftspeople associated with the Centre will be demonstrating their work throughout the day. Join tours of the Model Farm buildings where the Skills Centre is based to find out more about their original use and the design choices that made the farm so innovative. You'll also be able to view our exhibition, which explores the legacy of the creative people who made their home on the Coleshill estate or drew inspiration from it.
Also open on the estate will be Coleshill Mill, an 18th century watermill, once home to renowned potter Katherine Pleydell-Bouverie; and Coleshill's secret bunker, where you can discover the secret history of the Auxiliary Units who trained here in the 1940s.
All ages welcome. Entry is free, and there's no need to book.
