About
An exquisite Tudor timber-framed building that was once the Folk Museum. It is now a community space for exhibitions, events & activities. On the grounds there is the Ed Shed: 2 meeting rooms available to book.
Open on selected dates this year for special events while we compile a Heritage Lottery Fund bid to give The Folk the resources it needs to not only survive but thrive.
