This years Lancia Thema and Dedra Consortium AGM will be held at 2.30pm, in the ‘Long Room’ at the ‘Avoncroft Museum’ on Aug 7^th  which is ‘Children’s Weekend’. Admission is £5 for adults, but it’s free all day to children. They are offering a huge array of fun activities and craft workshops, dressing up, facepainting and more!

Avoncroft is a fascinating world of historic buildings covering seven centuries, rescued and rebuilt on a beautiful open-air site in the heart of the Worcestershire countryside.

You can see craftsmen working in a 19th century workshop, admire the splendour of our furnished historic houses or be transported to the heart of historic social and working life at one of our Special Events and Demonstrations.

See machinery that helped revolutionize architecture and the kids can meet 'Clayton the Frog' who will teach them how our homes developed through centuries.

Visit rural Victorian England at the Toll Cottage the Church and Gaol, Traditional farm buildings including a working Windmill or sample Medieval life in a Timber Framed House.

The Museum is open from 10.30 to 5.00.
