About this event

Come along and have a go at creating your own Mesolithic-style basket.

For lots of human history people had to carry everything they owned with them, including their tools, their food, their hunting equipment and much more. So, basket making was a very important craft to make it easier to carry and store everything you needed while moving around the landscape.
