Fernhurst Furnace Open Weekend

This Wealden Blast Furnace site has recently been conserved and there will be guided tours to explain what happened, when ship's cannon were made here and why the conservation project was required. There are many other attractions including a demonstration of how to load and fire a musket as well as pole lathe wood turning, beam hewing from a round tree trunk, wool spinning and much more. Refreshment will be available which include tea and cakes, roast lamb and a veggie alternative all washed down with local beer.
