Four costumed interpreters sit around a long wooden table inside a historic room, laughing while participating in a traditional milling frolic. They are gathered closely, using their hands to rhythmically pull and bunch a large piece of cream-colored woven wool cloth across the surface of the slatted table.

What's On

An older man in historical attire, wearing a loose white shirt and a black flat cap, sits on a rustic wooden bench in a grassy, wooded clearing. He is speaking to four young children gathered around him: two girls on the left, one in the center wearing a colorful patterned sun hat with her back to the camera, and one on the right in a yellow t-shirt.
