A heritage crafts and archaeology festival on the Blackdown Hills is set for next month.

For two days, on September 7 and 8, local experimental archaeologists, living historians and craftspeople will assemble at Knapp Farm in Whitestaunton.

The aim of the CRÆFT Festival is to tell the astonishing 10,000-year-old story of Blackdown Hills' national landscape through a dive into its archaeological past.

On offer will be a celebration of crafts, from the forgotten skills of hunter-gatherers, the magic of the Bronze Age, to the craftsmanship of the Anglo-Saxons.

Visitors will have an array of crafty opportunities to take part in, including learning the ancient art of knapping flint into arrowheads, observing the transformation of rock to molten bronze and watching 'treewrights' hew timber by axe in a Saxon village.

There's also a chance for visitors to mould their own clay pot, try out archery or craft prehistoric jewellery.

The event, running between 10am and 4pm on both days, will provide guided tours.

Last entry is at 3.30pm.

This festival is being funded by FIPL in collaboration with Blackdown Hills NL, CRAEFT CIC, and Newhaven Coppice Ltd.

Entry is £10 per car.
