Workshops and Heritage Experiences
Our heritage experiences are historically themed days in a range of settings. We work with knowledgeable tutors who are experts in their field. We have events for young people and some for adults only, see more details below.
We have worked hard to make our events financially inclusive. You can pay the whole fee in one transaction, or choose three instalment payments ticket option as long as the whole ticket price is paid off before the weekend event.
Please contact Castle Hill Heritage Skills CIC if you have any issues with these transactions on Ticket Tailor website.
As a not-for-profit Community Interest Company all our profit goes into the restoration and new buildings at the Ancient Technology Centre in Dorset, which is also where some of our course are set. Once you have become one of the thousands of visitors you will realise how important this place is for all to have a hands on and immersive historical experience. The centre needs financial assistance with this and so Castle Hill Heritage Skills CIC was established.
